Most personal goals fail because they are wishes, not plans. OKRs turn wishes into measurable outcomes and a small set of focused bets each quarter.

Objectives are directions, Key Results are scoreboards

An Objective describes a meaningful change. Each Key Result is a measurable outcome that proves the change happened.

Limit to three Objectives per quarter

More than three means you have not chosen. Focus is the entire point of the system.

Weekly review, quarterly grade

Spend 20 minutes each week scoring progress on a 0.0 to 1.0 scale. Grade honestly at the end of the quarter.

Key takeaways

  • -Three Objectives per quarter, no more
  • -Each Objective needs measurable Key Results
  • -Weekly reviews keep OKRs alive
