1. Get really, really bored. Have fun with it and allow your creativity to flourish!

2. Consider how to track and discuss your creative ideas at work. Companies need individuals who are not afraid to approach problems from new angles.

Understand Scenario Planning

1. Understand scenario planning & why it's important to do it (even if it scares people). These articles are aimed at helping startups with scenario planning - but you can easily use these frameworks for larger organizations and for individuals seeking new careers. Also, super, super helpful to understand how people navigate change (there's a model for it!)

2. Tracy Wilk is an ex-Googler who shares such fantastic career tips on LinkedIn, often with a long arc to them. Here's a recent one that I found valuable:

Don't just take it on faith that your career is going to be there in forty years. You already know that's not true. Have a broad radar for where opportunities might exist. Look for those opportunities and they may include the road less traveled. There are always opportunities where there are human beings. We can always provide services or comfort or whatever is needed, to one another. That's really our best opportunity.”
