FAQ
Do personal OKRs actually change behaviour?
Only if you write them down and review them. Mental goals evaporate within weeks. Written goals you revisit weekly survive months. The PMs who deliberately set and track personal OKRs progress 2x faster than those who don't. The mechanism is simple: visible commitments compete for your time more effectively.
