for the one ready to stop shopping for lives and start sailing one

Goal

Pick one Odyssey plan and commit a quarter of tiny prototypes toward it.

Draft three radically different five-year lives to break the illusion there's only one path. : from Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans.

☕
8:00-9:00 AM
Settle in. Coffee, no devices. Today you commit a quarter.
📖
9:00-10:00 AM
Re-read your 3 Odyssey plans. Slowly. The whole stack.
🎯
10:00-10:30 AM
Pick one to commit a quarter to. Not forever: one quarter.
❓
10:30-11:00 AM
Name the 3 questions you most need answered. Just three.
🔬
11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Design 3 prototypes: one per month. Each answers a question.
🥗
12:00-1:00 PM
Lunch + walk. Let the choice settle.
📅
1:00-2:00 PM
Block the prototypes on the calendar. Real dates, not 'sometime'.
🚪
2:00-2:30 PM
Define a 'good enough' exit signal. When do you know it's working?
🚫
2:30-3:00 PM
Name what you'll say no to this quarter. Write it down.
✍️
3:00-3:30 PM
Write the commitment to yourself. One paragraph. Sign it.
📆
3:30-4:00 PM
Schedule a 90-day review. Same time, same place, quarter-end.
✂️
4:00-4:30 PM
Delete the other two plans from THIS quarter's calendar. Commit.
📢
7:00-7:30 PM
Read the commitment aloud. One sentence. Close the day.

Delete the other two plans from this quarter. Commitment is the reward.
