Should I take voluntary redundancy before I have a clear plan for what I will do next?

Should I take voluntary redundancy now, even though I do not yet have a clear plan of what to do in the future? I have some ideas of areas I might be interested in but I need to get a far better idea of the reality. How do I do that?

I don't think I've ever heard of a story where it actually happened this way.
