Workflows & Frameworks

If you’re looking for a system to help you stay consistent with your goals, you’re in the right place.

Griply is designed to support a wide range of goal-setting frameworks, like GTD, OKRs, or the 12 Week Year, while also giving you a powerful built-in structure for connecting your vision, goals, habits, and daily tasks.

Whether you’re searching for a GTD app, a goal tracker that supports OKRs, or a 12 Week Year planner, this section shows how to implement your favorite method inside Griply or create your own planning flow that fits your life.

Popular frameworks you can use in Griply

Getting Things Done (GTD)

Looking for a way to bring the Getting Things Done method into a digital system? In Getting Things Done with Griply, we show you how to:

• Capture tasks quickly using the Inbox

• Sort actions into contexts using tags and filters

• Organize projects with subgoals

• Set up lists like Someday/Maybe or Waiting For

• Do Weekly Reviews inside your planner

Whether you’re new to GTD or switching from tools like Things or Todoist, Griply helps you stay organized without overthinking it.

OKRs (Objectives & Key Results)

Griply works well as a personal OKR tracker or team-style OKR planning system. In OKRs with Griply, you’ll learn how to:

• Write strong Objectives tied to your vision

• Create measurable Key Results using subgoals or metrics

• Track progress automatically (via completed tasks or manual input)

• Set up weekly or quarterly reviews

This guide is especially useful if you’re working toward professional or measurable outcomes and want a clean overview of where you stand.

The 12 Week Year

Prefer to work in short bursts with clear deadlines? The 12 Week Year with Griply guide helps you:

• Set up 12-week sprints inside your goal tracker

• Use weekly scoring and reviews to stay accountable

• See clear momentum without waiting for New Year goals

• Combine your tasks, habits, and goals into one execution system

This setup is ideal for users who want a goal-setting system that creates urgency and focus, without needing spreadsheets or paper planners.

Or follow Griply’s own planning system

If you’re not using a formal framework, Griply offers a complete daily-to-yearly planning workflow built right in. It connects your long-term goals with your day-to-day actions so you can make steady progress, even if life gets busy.

This section also covers the core building blocks of how Griply works as a planning system.

Define what really matters

In Life Planning: Define What Matters, you’ll reflect on your key life areas (like Health, Career, or Relationships) and clarify what success looks like, before jumping into execution.

This helps avoid the common trap of “productivity without direction.” It’s about building the right system for your goals.

Set yearly themes and quarterly focus areas

In Yearly, Quarterly & Monthly Planning, you’ll learn how to:

• Choose an annual vision or theme

• Break it down into quarterly outcomes

• Create monthly check-ins to track alignment

This step bridges the gap between your big-picture goals and the shorter execution cycles used in methods like OKRs or the 12 Week Year.

Plan your week with structure and flexibility

Weekly Planning helps you:

• Review wins and challenges from last week

• Sort your tasks by goal, tag, or priority

• Build a flexible plan that adjusts to your energy and time

This process supports both time-blockers and list-based planners, with smart filtering that helps you stay focused, even when juggling multiple goals.

Start each day with intention

In Daily Planning, you’ll:

• Use the Today view to stay grounded

• Prioritize tasks based on importance, not just urgency

• Reflect briefly on progress and stay consistent

It’s your daily anchor, a simple and focused view that ties everything back to your bigger vision.

Why Griply works with or without a framework

Unlike apps that only manage tasks or habits, Griply combines your vision, goals, habits, and daily planning in one system. That means:

• No need for multiple tools

• Less friction between planning and execution

• Everything stays connected: complete a habit → progress your goal

• You can follow a framework or just follow your own rhythm

This structure supports both power users and beginners, whether you’re building a planning system for personal growth or implementing a team-wide OKR process.
