Question

How can jobs be ordered to increase performance?


Answer
  • A boring task after an intrinsically motivated interesting one can lead to worse performance on the boring task
  • If one single task is way more interesting than most others, this negatively affects performance on the other tasks
  • This also leads to higher performance variance

However: This situation is still better than just all boring tasks.

Better: Very interesting - moderatly interesting - boring task in that order -> Sustain Motivation
