Beyond five, execution quality degrades because context-switching cost rises faster than any efficiency gain from parallelism. The document helps you make the trade-off explicit — listing everything, scoring it, and formally deferring what doesn't make the cut.\n",{"question":405,"answer":406},"What is the difference between a goal and a milestone?","A goal is the outcome you are trying to achieve — measurable, time-bound, and connected to a strategic or operational objective. A milestone is a dated checkpoint that marks meaningful progress toward that goal. A single goal typically has three to five milestones. Tracking milestones instead of just the final deadline is what allows you to detect schedule risk early enough to act on it.\n",{"question":408,"answer":409},"How do you prioritize when all goals seem equally important?","Score each goal against a defined set of criteria — typically strategic alignment, revenue or cost impact, urgency, and resource feasibility — using a weighted formula. The resulting scores almost always differentiate goals that felt equivalent before the exercise. If two goals genuinely score within one point of each other, the tiebreaker is cost of delay: which goal loses more value for every week it is deprioritized?\n",{"question":411,"answer":412},"What should I do when two goals compete for the same resource?","The conflict resolution clause in this document designates a named decision-maker and a maximum response time — typically two to three business days.

This process avoids the weeks-long informal negotiation that typically occurs when no escalation path exists.\n",{"question":414,"answer":415},"How often should I review progress against multiple goals?","Match the review cadence to the shortest goal timeline in the active set. For goals with 30-day timelines, weekly reviews are appropriate. For 90-day goals, bi-weekly is the minimum interval that allows meaningful course correction. Monthly reviews are typically too infrequent — by the time an off-track goal is identified, recovery options are limited.\n",{"question":417,"answer":418},"Can this template be used for personal goals as well as business goals?","Yes.
