How to Answer

Often we will leave the tasks that we don't like for last in the act of procrastination. Other times, we will mindfully move a particular responsibility for last because we feel that it makes the most sense. Help the interviewer to determine which personality type you are by answering this question.
"If given a choice, I would leave my documentation tasks for last. I say this because I like to spend my time selling and hitting targets; that's the most energizing and satisfying to me, so completing tasks related to documentation during business hours often feels like a distraction from business development. I do understand the importance of appropriate documentation; I just prefer to save it for after the workday."

I would leave the task that I was the least enthused about starting for last and begin working on smaller tasks. This strategy helped me with increasing productivity as a college student. However, if a task is time-sensitive, I will always take care of it before other tasks.
