Balance Transfer 0% repayment query

I just took out a card with a 0% balance transfer offer for only 6 months. The balance I will transfer will not clear the original card so I will be paying two cards a month. I’m being very slow here but I should pay as much as I can on the 0% card and a little over the minimum payment on the other. Am I correct in thinking this?

No.

Pay the minimum on the 0% card and as much as you can on the interest bearing card.

Your aim is to reduce the interest you pay.
