Day Four of Devdose
Today’s DevDose is a quick nudge about goal-setting frameworks, nothing fancy, just tools to help you stay on track.
You’ve probably heard of things like SMART goals, OKRs, Eisenhower Matrix, maybe even used an app or two built around them. But underneath all the acronyms and UI polish, they all aim to do the same thing: help you get stuff done.
Here’s my current mix:
A daily OneNote list with 3 simple personal tasks (usually home-related)
A quarterly “big goals” page I review every now and then (it’s mostly for brainstorming)
An OKR app, yes, it’s for business, but I hijack it for personal goals too because the visuals are helpful
None of this is magic. The trick? Reviewing them regularly. And yeah, actually doing the tasks. 😬
So if your to-do list still lives in your head, open a tab, search “goal setting frameworks,” and give one a shot. The right one might just stick.
