Why did I create this template?

It was the scratch-your-own-itch-factor. Well, more than just my own itch. Whenever I ask my team and friends what they struggle with the most it's unanimously goal setting. Wat goals should I set? How do I define good goals? How do I stay on track? As COO and Product Manager at our 40-employee business I landed on OKRs as the goal-setting framework of preference. So, After having tried and tested the system for the past years it was time to write it up and share it with others.

What you'll get out of Life goals OS:

• You'll learn how goal setting works and how to master it

What’s behind the system?

I’ve researched and used goal-setting frameworks for the past 5 years both personally and professionally. As COO and Product Manager at our 40-employee business I have landed on OKRs as the goal-setting framework of choice.

You've probably heard about goal-setting methods like SMART before. The downside is they are complex and require a large investment of time and effort. OKRs are the lightweight counterpart to that. It's straightforward to set goals with OKRs and they are quick to maintain and adjust.

OKR’s have been popularised by Google, Intel, Netflix, and a legion of other big tech companies. But, OKRs are not just for big tech. The guiding principles translate to personal goal setting as well. Life Goals OS is an OKR framework enriched with guides that support you in choosing, setting, progressing, reviewing and achieving your goals.
