My personal 2016 OKRs

The year 2015 was very eventful, spontaneous and full of uncertainty. I wanted to do things different this year and set myself annual OKRs. These OKRs based on an article by Rick Klau ‘How Google sets goals: OKRs’. I want my goals for 2016 to be ambitious and measurable. I am organising my OKRs in different categories based on things I want to achieve in 2016.
