Original Personal OKRs Template / Framework (Notion)

This system has helped over 30,000 people to make big changes in their lives.

I developed this template in 2018 and used it over many years to:

🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃 Become an Ironman Triathlete

💰 Clear my personal debts

⚖️ Lose 15lbs in three months

🍷 Give up alcohol for an extended period of time

📖 Read more books in one year than I ever have before

I hope it helps you, too.

Some of the books I was reading around the time I created my Personal OKRs framework

Backstory:
After using OKRs religiously in my startup, I wondered what would happen if I applied them to goals in my personal life. Things like:

• Fitness and sports goals
• Financial goals
• Personal development

At the same time, I'd been reading Atomic Habits by James Clear, Measure What Matters, and High Output Management.

I synthesised ideas from all these books into this framework.

I published an article in 2018 on my system for setting and achieving big goals in my personal life, and it blew up.

The article quickly climbed to the #1 spot on Google, and has sat in the top 3 positions ever since.

My own Results

In 2022, after years of using my own Personal OKRs framework, I completed one of my biggest goals that seemed impossible a few years ago; finishing Ironman Wales.
(3.8km swim, 180km bike ride, 42.2km run)
