How to Interpret for Successful Planning

Always value what is Important To At times this may contradict Important For.

How do you strike a balance? Set realistic goals

Choose “low hanging fruit” TOS of a 2 or 3

Full-support (rating of a 4) might not see much traction

Set challenging goals TOS of a 0 or 1 unlikely to improve
