Leverage Personal Strengths for Success

In 2018's Avengers: Endgame, Frigga says to a despondent Thor: "Everyone fails at who they're supposed to be, Thor. The measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are."

There many recommendations and actions that deliver better personal finance results.  Which ones to do or try?  Which are a good fit.   Here are some of my criteria based on experience to be better at personal finance.

• Does the action/activity have a good chance of working?  
  
  
  
• Is the action/activity something that one is good at doing?
  
  
  
• Is the action/activity something one likes to do?
  
  
  
• Finally, how much additional effort does the action/activity require?

If the answer to the first three are yes, then determine if the level of effort required makes it worth doing.
