Do you set goals for the week?

Do you set personal or professional goals at the beginning of the week? If so, how does it seem to help you?

At Outscal, we set weekly goals for all business operations. The best part everyone set their own weekly goals. How does it help? Everyone takes ownership of their work. Managers don't have to push their teams to get shit done. Everyone is responsible for their own shit.

@mayank_grover Thats awesome, are the goals public for the whole team to see?
Mayank Grover
@daniilgdg Yes! it is.
Most important task in priority. Things I don't want to do, and that bring low value... last. This helps me stay focused and keep going. Without goals, I do nothing! What about you ?
Daniil Glezer
@jacquelinclem i also try to prioritize! It helps when our team plans the sprints as a whole as well, so were all on the same page

Clarity on what needs to be executed and how makes it easier to do those things. Else you end up wasting time trying to figure these things on run time.
Daniil Glezer
@archisman_das definitely, i feel like that boils down to communication between team members for me now. How do you manage to gain clarity for tasks?
Archisman Das
@daniilgdg The context for me has changed over last few months as I moved from my previous co to a startup. But I would say the alignment first needs to exist at a macro level for instance what are the key goals and priorities for your quarter and then you can focus on weekly alignment. Weekly alignment probably can happen over sprint planning.
Daniil Glezer
@archisman_das Definitely agree, having "north star" type macro goals helps maintain perspective on a weekly basis

Not really. I feel under pressure when I set many goals.
Daniil Glezer
@balrog_the_great Thats an interesting take, do you feel like keeping calm helps you complete the tasks you need to organically?

I set goals for both the week and every day. As a planning tool I like to use Weje. It helps me stay productive :)
Daniil Glezer
@vmigova i havent tried Weje, ill look into that!

weekly short-term goals are important to keep track of the progress of long-term goals. ⌚
Daniil Glezer
@hamedbaatour I really feel this
Dov Kaufmann
Definitely! Setting goals is the best way to see if you're improving. Its a constant learning process.
Daniil Glezer
@dov_kaufmann I agree! Measuring your goals is key
Mahak from Outgrow
yes, I always check my planner what is pending and what is next. Set the priorities and do it anyway. It's like more scheduling rather than setting any specific goal.
Daniil Glezer
@mahak I like the idea of scheduling! Planning around big events can make a lot of sense
Ender
I have weekly KPIs. That is all.
Daniil Glezer
@enderm Thats awesome! Are they purely professional or do you have them for your life outside work as well?
