Kathy, I know exactly where you are coming from. It's tempting to knock out a bunch of easy tasks before getting to harder ones. Doing so makes us feel like we are making good progress in the short term. However, those large tasks we are procrastinating tend to haunt us. Sometimes my approach has been to attack the large and undesirable tasks first. While it's not fun, once I get them knocked out I have a much more positive outlook about my day.
