After reading this post, we’ll see:

• What are the top goal - setting frameworks

• How you can use them in your personal & professional life.

TL; DR;

Goal - setting is an art. With the right frameworks, you can crush your goals.

92% of people don't achieve their goals.

Use these 5 frameworks to be in the top 8%.

👉 The 50/30/20 Rule

👉 The 12-Week Year

👉 The ONE Thing

👉 SMART Goals

👉 OKR's.

Let’s look at these with examples

👉 The 50/30/20 Rule.

Say you earn $3,000 / month.

Allocate $1,500 (50%) to needs like rent, groceries, and utilities;

$900 (30%) to wants such as dining out, hobbies, or entertainment;

And $600 (20%) toward savings or paying off debt. Adjust based on your financial priorities, like saving for a house or paying down student loans.

👉 The 12-Week Year.

Use this to create structure & accountability. Example: You want to get fit. Instead of aiming to lose 20 pounds in a year, focus on losing 6 pounds in 12 weeks by breaking it into smaller weekly goals (e.g., lose 0.5 pounds per week).

Track your progress and adjust your workout and diet plans weekly for accountability and momentum.

👉 The ONE Thing.

Use this to achieve laser focus. Example: If your career goal is to earn a promotion, identify the ONE thing that will make the most impact—like completing a certification.

Dedicate an hour daily to studying, ignoring distractions like social media, to build mastery and increase your value at work.

👉 SMART Goals.

Use this to set practical goals. Example: Instead of saying, “I want to start exercising,” set a SMART goal:

• Specific: Join a gym.

• Measurable: Work out 3 times a week.

• Achievable: Start with 30-minute sessions.

• Relevant: Focus on health improvements.

• Time-bound: Achieve this routine within 2 months.

👉 OKR's.

Use this when working in a team setting. Example: In a marketing team, your Objective might be to increase brand visibility. Key Results:

1. Increase website traffic by 25% in Q1.

2. Gain 1,000 new social media followers in Q1.

3. Publish 10 blog posts aligned with your audience's needs.
   This creates clarity and alignment across the team, ensuring everyone works toward measurable outcomes.

That’s it!!
