As it turns out, crystal-balling has psychological benefits
whenever you’re not focused on a task—you can form connections and come up with ideas that simply wouldn’t have occurred to you in a task-oriented mindset.
For example, consider someone who’s future thinking about their career and comes up with three things they want to do next. “I would suggest that they try to come up with a fourth idea not just because the fourth thing might be something they want to do someday, but because coming up with a fourth could trigger a fifth, sixth, or seventh, or nuances of the first three that they wouldn’t have thought of if they didn’t push themselves into that space,” says Dr. Kellerman.
“In this case, I’d suggest they draw a line on a piece of paper, and on the far left, write down this worst-case scenario of getting fired, but then also push their mind to the opposite extreme and come up with a best-case scenario that they write down on the far right,” she says. “Then, in the middle, I’d have them come up with several neutral scenarios: Maybe their boss needs help on a project, is going out of town unexpectedly, or just forgot to tell them something in their one-on-one.
