The Odyssey Plan is a five-year planning exercise in the book “Designing Your Life” by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans.

  1. The Current Path: Write out, in detail, what your life would look like 5 years from now, if you follow your current path.
  2. The Alternative Path: Write out, in detail, what your life would look like 5 years from now, if you couldn’t do what you’re doing now, and had to choose a completely different path.
  3. The Radical Path: Write out, in detail, what your life would look like 5 years from now, if money and time were no object, and you could do whatever you wanted.
