Comment on Setting up personal OKR (objectives and key-results)parent

It’s more than that:

“Bike 3 out of 5 days to the office” is a reflection of your goals as a human — fitness, enjoying the outdoors, whatever.

The problem is our natural inclination to be lazy and take the bus prevents us from accomplishing our desire to be healthier or enjoy the outdoors.

Having an explicit goal you measure the results of is a way to assess if you’re living the way you want to.

You’re captain here: no one is making you ride the bike — but if you want to ride your bike more, making that goal explicit and measured is a way to overcome your own internal conflicts preventing you from doing that.

Captain made a call and now we’re doing it.
