First: You should know what OKRs are. I'm not saying there the end-all be-all, but they're totally a thing.
Yesterday I updated my personal goals in the format of OKRs and habits. Here they are.
Objective 1:
Be smarter than I really am.
I use this as a euphemism for formidability & staying on top of shit.
Key Results:
I’m more organized, and hence more at ease.
My output results in more inbound traffic.
My relationships are strengthened through my reliability and ability to communicate effectively.
Habits:
- Keep a daily checklist & maintain a high “done” rate.
- Pitch something unironically on a weekly basis.
- Ship my newsletter weekly.
- Post 250 words publicly on a weekly basis.
- Post 750 words publicly on a monthly basis.
Objective 2:
Broaden and deepen my perspective and skillset.
Key Results:
- A full stack of maker skills.
- A continually broadening knowledge base.
- A continuous stream of completed & documented projects.
Habits:
Lunch/coffee/drinks with someone outside of my immediate sphere on a weekly basis.
Show continued progress on extracurricular projects on a monthly basis.
A half-hour of terminal time on a weekly basis.
One unstructured weekday on a monthly basis.
These will change over time - perhaps sooner than later - but I feel good about them. Wish me luck.
