True, I think every few years or so we need to sit down and write down our "odyssey plan" based on Stanford Life Design course.

Since the world is liquid and constantly in movement, our interests and values will change as well which is ok.

I guess when you start feeling that whatever you are doing is `iffy`, its time to sit down and think.

I think a big problem is that many people like me don't have the discipline to learn anything in depth.

Here is a service I always want: I'm in a prison cell. I cannot get out until the prison evaluates my progress on a target that I submitted for the service (say fully read a tech book and create a demo). I'd also setup a default end date which will be evaluated and confirmed by the prison. If I don't complete the target before the end date I get double charged for each day and food becomes shittier. Of course there is a hard deadline to make sure my bank account still exists afterwards.
