Personal OKR Examples to help you get better

How to set personal goals with the OKR framework

Personal OKRs might seem a little absurd at first and its benefits far-fetched, but setting personal OKRs for a quarter is an exercise that:

  1. Makes you think hard on and introspect about how you can improve personally
  2. Helps you achieve clarity and focus on your personal development goals for the next 3 months
  3. Makes you put them down on a piece of paper and when you jot down something, you are more likely to stick to it

Tracking and monitoring personal OKR every week is key to achieving success. Personal OKR can be set on an excel sheet or you can use a software like Ricotta to set personal OKRs. The advantage of using Ricotta OKR software is that it sends reminders on Slack to update your progress and also sends follow-up reminders in case you missed updating your progress. Ricotta is also a privacy-friendly software that is end-to-end encrypted.
