The daily habits of future thinkers

What creative lenses can you use to consider the future and its possibilities? This framework can reveal what’s next.

The Grey Swan Guild, a global think tank of future-focused people from all walks of life, has created a roadmap to show us the way: A framework of 30 daily thinking habits to help us think broadly about what’s possible.

This tool set gives you a library of mindsets, behaviors, inspirations, disciplines and perspectives that you can use to explore what’s possible.

Most importantly, it can knock you out of your habitual paths of thinking to consider your challenges and future opportunities from a variety of creative perspectives.

Three habits stood out to me and are worthy of a closer look:

Entertain wild cards and possibility: Ask yourself “What if?” questions on a regular basis and then think through their potential answers. As you frame your questions, imagine a rich range of possibilities, even some that may sound ridiculous or impossible at first. I’m a big believer in this type of thinking, because it can often lead to surprising insights.
