The best way to start reaching your OKRs is to block time in your calendar for tasks you need to do in order to reach your Key Results – you should be “pro-active” in organising your time.
For example, at the beginning of each month, ask yourself “What 3 things do I need to achieve in order to make significant progress on some Key Results this month?” Write down those 3 Key Results. Then…
Block off a regular time in your calendar in order to have the time to work on those Key Results (for example, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 9-11am) even if you do not yet know what you will do during those times. Then…
At the beginning of each week, ask yourself which 3 tasks that week will help you reach your monthly key results – then put them into your calendar into your “saved” spots.
You can also take this further by daily asking yourself “Which 3 tasks should I do today in order to reach my weekly goal?”
You should then use your OKRs in your uplink/team meetings to check your progress in reaching your objectives. Most objectives are met little by little over time. If you do not regularly check your progress, there is a danger that you will leave attaining your OKR to the last minute – other things will fill your calendar. While other things may be important, your OKRs should have the priority when you are planning your day/week/month.
