Estimate roughly the amount of resources (time, money) it takes to test the lead in the ” Allocated Testing Resources ” column . Limit Testing Resources: It doesn’t make sense to test interest every day for a year. Determine for yourself the amount of time and money that you can spend without harming yourself on testing interest within a month or two. Conscious limitation will help you in one more way: it will force you to think about how to test interest with a minimum of resources, to look for options, to be inventive.
Optionally, you can take into account another chance to become a master. In some activities you will be able to acquire skills quickly and easily enough, you will be motivated to achieve it, in some it will be more difficult for you. You can add this column yourself.
Next, prioritize and select interests that appeal to you, are useful, restore weakly recovering bodily resources, and don’t cost prohibitively much time and money to test. Select 1-2 interests that you will be testing in the near future so as not to overload the schedule, and test them.
