OKRs, agile, and other planning frameworks for PERSONAL life. How do you plan your 2022 year?

Question

Hey, awesome Product Hunt community!
I'm working on my year plan and looking for a better framework to do it. Last year I used daily sprints and Google Spreadsheets with tasks in each life area.

This year I'm thinking to use OKRs for personal life for a quarter or quarterly planning for 2022.

How do you plan your year?

Looking for a solution now. Long-term goals have been hard for me to keep up, cause often there are lots of distractions along the way as well as circumstances are constantly changing. However, I came up with this pattern with my family that worked pretty good so far:
- writing down goals/wants/needs by project/life-area
- prioritizing the most important ones
- writing them down by days
so far the above simple approach works. The key is to have a layout by the calendar.

Oh, and bonus tip, if it's something super quick, like "to make a phone call.." for example, I try to do it instantly.

Use Notion and then automate as many of the reminders, logging, and calendar updates to make it impossible to forget. Still figuring it out, but I try to work backward from what habit or habits will help me reach my goal and then do those every day.

I actually use a physical notepad then automated reminders and schedules on my google calendar.

@maxwellcdavis that's why long-term 12 months goals are hard to achieve, it's so easy to get distracted

Still kind of figuring that out at the moment - I've never been great at going after goals I've set, I tend to get distracted so I may need to think of something more short term and flexible.

I prefer to use online whiteboard Weje. It helps me write, plan, and get organized on easy way.
