What are OKRs?

OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. It's a goal-setting framework developed at Intel and popularized by Google that helps you set ambitious goals and measure your progress with concrete outcomes.

  • Objectives are qualitative goals that describe what you want to achieve. They should be inspiring and actionable.
  • Key Results are quantifiable metrics that measure your progress toward the objective. They answer "How will I know when I've achieved it?"

Why Use OKRs for Personal Goals?

The same framework that drives success at top companies can transform your personal productivity.

Focus on What Matters

By limiting yourself to a few key objectives, you avoid spreading yourself too thin and ensure your energy goes toward your most important goals.

Measure Real Progress

Key Results give you concrete metrics to track. Instead of wondering if you're making progress, you'll have clear evidence of your advancement.

Stay Motivated

Seeing your key results move toward completion provides motivation and momentum. Small wins build up to big achievements.

Align Your Actions

When daily tasks connect to larger objectives, every action has purpose. You'll know exactly why you're doing what you're doing.

OKR Best Practices

Tips for getting the most out of your personal OKRs.

Keep It Simple

Start with 2-3 objectives maximum. It's better to fully achieve a few goals than to partially complete many.

Aim for 70%

OKRs should be ambitious. If you're hitting 100% every time, your goals might not be stretching you enough. Aim for 70% achievement.

Review Weekly

Set aside time each week to update your key results and reflect on progress. Regular check-ins keep you on track.

Write Clearly

Key results should be unambiguous. Anyone should be able to look at a key result and know exactly whether it's been achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are OKRs and why should I use them?
OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a goal-setting framework that helps you define ambitious objectives and measure progress with concrete results. Used by companies like Google, Intel, and Spotify, OKRs work equally well for personal goals. They help you focus on what matters and track real progress instead of just checking off tasks.
How many OKRs should I have?
We recommend starting with 2-3 objectives, each with 2-4 key results. This keeps you focused without overwhelming yourself. As you get comfortable with the framework, you can adjust based on what works for you. Remember: fewer, more meaningful OKRs are better than many scattered goals.
How often should I update my OKRs?
Update your key result progress at least weekly. This keeps the numbers fresh and helps you stay connected to your goals. Many people find a weekly review session helpful, where they update progress and plan the upcoming week's priorities around their OKRs.
What's the difference between an objective and a key result?
An objective is the qualitative goal - what you want to achieve. It should be inspiring and give direction. A key result is quantitative - it's how you measure success. For example: Objective: "Get healthier this quarter." Key Results: "Exercise 3x per week", "Lose 5 pounds", "Sleep 7+ hours on 80% of nights."
Is Lidger's OKR software really free?
Yes! All OKR features are completely free - the wizard, progress tracking, task integration, everything. We believe effective goal-setting tools should be accessible to everyone. There are no premium tiers or hidden costs.
