Top 4 Goal Setting Methods

Goal‑setting isn’t broken—

Your method is:

Most goals crash at the starting line

because “work harder” isn’t a plan.

A target without steps is just

a wish with nice handwriting.

Without the right system: 

• You waste time

• You lose focus

• You burn out

Here are 4 methods that actually work:

✅ OKRs

• Objectives + Key Results

• Set bold goals with 2–5 outcomes.

• Track progress often. Stretch beyond comfort.

✅ SMART Goals

• Specific

• Measurable

• Achievable

• Relevant

• Time-bound

✅ Backward Goal-Setting

• Start with the outcome.

• Work backward step by step.

• Plan in reverse. Execute forward.

✅ ABCDE Method

• A = Do now

• B = Do next

• C = Nice to do

• D = Delegate

• E = Eliminate

You don’t need to guess your way forward.

You just need the right framework to follow.

That’s how goals turn into habits.

That’s how habits turn into great outcomes.

That’s how great outcomes keep repeating.
