For personal interactions, I tend to think ahead as much as possible. I usually pause for a split second before saying something I may regret just to process whether or not it's worth saying.
For mechanical stuff, it's all about the 3D. I flip that thing around and around in every different angle possible in my head.
For general day-to-day stuff, I think through what the results would be. If I do "A" first, what is step "B", then step "C", and so on. I try to be a couple steps ahead to improve efficiency. This is also extremely important when operating the equipment at work, especially for safety.
