What's on your life plan that you've never taken a single step toward?
Most people dream about something or years without ever putting it on paper. Opening a restaurant in Spain. Writing the book. Going back for the degree. The thing you bring up at dinner and then don't think about again for six months.
It's an exercise called the Odyssey Plan, from Stanford's Design Your Life. You map three different versions of your next five years — not the one you're already on, three real alternatives — and you leave with them written down, plus a first step you can actually take.
I've run this with executives, with students, and with people in the middle of a career change. What surprises people isn't which plan they pick. It's how fast a life they'd been calling impossible turns out to have a next step.
