Futures thinking isn't just about looking ahead—it's about developing mental habits that help you see change before it happens and act on it meaningfully.

• The future isn't predetermined—it's something you can actively shape rather than something that happens to you
• Move from asking "what will happen" to "what could happen" by exploring multiple possible futures
• Challenge your "default future"—the assumed trajectory that people rarely question
• Adopt a prototype mentality by testing future possibilities through small experiments today
• Ask "what if" questions every day to train your brain for futures thinking
• Expand your information diet beyond your industry to catch disruption from unexpected places
• Schedule monthly futures check-ins to notice emerging signals and trends

Your challenge: Pick one assumption about the future that you believe is "just the way things are" and challenge it. What if it's not true? What if the opposite happened?
