Goals/OKRs and tasks are two concepts that are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. A goal is a broad, long-term objective that a person or organization hopes to achieve. It is something that is generally achieved over some time, and it requires a series of smaller tasks to be completed to reach the final objective.
Goals
Definition: Goals are overarching, long-term objectives that individuals or teams aim to achieve.
Nature: Broad and abstract, requiring extensive planning and preparation.
Timeframe: Typically achieved over weeks, months, or even years.
Significance: Considered more important, with a greater impact on the individual or organization.
Tasks
Definition: Tasks are specific, actionable items designed to progress towards the accomplishment of a goal.
Nature: More concrete and focused, often completed in a shorter period.
Timeframe: Usually accomplished in a matter of days or hours.
Significance: Generally less important, daily objectives with a more limited scope compared to goals.
