For any goal , determine the timeline and the fundamental unit ( prospects, prototypes, candidates etc ) and the probability of unit to product. then work on the number of units to act on in tranches so that each of these successive tranches will have better actions and thereby increasing your probability to convert into product.
Example : in product development, you have one year to get the first version out, the probability of iterations ( units ) to market ready version might be 40:1 . So you need to figure out a timeline and a set of actions everyday that will enable you to come out with 40 units within a year and automatically you wil have a market ready version.
