Make progress where it matters most.

You hit every deadline at work but stall on personal ambitions. Fitness plans fade, side hustles languish, and family time feels squeezed.

If this is your story, you're not alone-and you can fix this!

In Dreams and Deadlines, Wolfram Hedrich and Sebastian Voss adapt Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), the system that built Google and LinkedIn, into Personal OKRs (POKR).

This battle-tested method helps you focus, make steady progress, and thrive in health, finances, family, career, and passion projects. POKR adds what personal success requires: five-year vision, quarterly goals, built-in accountability, and a clear link between your personal mission and daily tasks-taking only an hour weekly.

Success at home shouldn't be harder than success at work. Practical and flexible, Dreams and Deadlines helps transform your biggest goals into achievable deadlines.
