Achieve Your Goals with this Simple Recipe for Successful OKRs 🎯

📣 If you're struggling with setting and achieving your goals, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) may be just what you need.

We've got a simple recipe for successful OKRs that will help you create clarity, track progress, and overcome biases.

First things first, let's talk about timeframes.

⏰ Set a 3-month window for your OKRs to ensure you stay focused. Working in quarters usually makes the most sense, so keep that in mind.

Now let's break it down.

The Recipe

Objectives

Your objective should articulate what you want, clarify why you want it, and inspire you on how to get it.

Use this structure:

I want to... [what you want goes here] So... [why you want it goes here]

For example:

I want to increase my confidence in sales pitches So I can better connect with potential customers And have more financial freedom in my life

This creates a clear picture in your mind, that is emotionally charged - think of it as a Future Memory.

This emotion is what's going to motivate you, so make sure you're connecting with it. 😃

Key Results

Next up, we've got the key results - the second key ingredient in our recipe.

Your key results should show you:

• Where you are today
• Where you want to get to
• Display progress

Use this structure:

Start with either Increase/Decrease/Maintain (you can use this for Qual or Quant)

Increase confidence in sales pitches from 3 to 7 (Qualitative example)

Increase MRR from £5k to £10k (Quantatitive example)

The plan of HOW you get there is NOT in your OKRs.

>> To execute on your OKRs use the Two Lists Strategy.

If you want to create unstoppable momentum in your life, design some simple habits to Prime your Brain to review your OKRs and move you towards your goals. 🚀
