Why? And does it matter what the thing/situation is?
I used to be a “save the best for last” kind of person, but that’s changed over time as my total capacity to do certain things has diminished I want to focus first on the stuff I like the most.
First. I’ve always been “save the best for last”, but I’ve spent my entire life regretting never getting to the good part. I deserve better
You do deserve better. I am glad you can see that now.
It’s vibes based
Save the best part for last when my brothers aren’t around to steal it. My family thought it was hilarious when they did that.
Do the best part immediately when they are around.
Depends if time makes the best part worse, like anything fried.
Definitely situational, but in a vacuum I’d save the best for last.
Eat the best thing first so the rival sibling doesn’t steal it.
Also if your food spills or somehow gets contaminated, at least you have the good things already inside you.
Take my share and then nibble at it for half an hour while the sibling looks at me, having eaten their portion in a minute.
Mix it up sort of person. Eat some chips, then some fish, then some salad, circle back to chips, and so on.
This is what I do. Some of the good stuff up first, then save the rest of the good stuff for last. Kind of a shit sandwich, but with the best bread.
Both? There’s no real pattern to which I choose for what situation, just whatever I feel like doing in the moment.
Option 3. Load the fork up with everything all at once.
Evenly distribute the good with the bad type person, dinner, work, working-out, anything really.
If I apply this to work, I do the “hard” work first, which means whatever job is the most odious, tedious, heavy-liftingest, pain-in-the-assest, that’s getting done and over with so the rest of my workday is easy.
I’m the opposite when it comes to food. I have zero willpower.
Easy, good parts first so you then eat the good parts of the ones that choose later.
I’m a ‘I don’t do false dichotomies’ type of person.
Last.
