This post reminds me of one of main game mechanics in Disco Elysium! Your character has different skills like Empathy and Composure, that can be actively used in certain situations but are also passively “checked” throughout in-game conversations or observations. I think a key one for me in leadership settings is my design lens. When talking about work projects or planning a trip with friends, I passively process what I hear into the different parts that need to be put together and define the phases from start to success.

First of all, I love this, I've never heard of Disco Elysium, but it sounds like it's worth taking a look into. Secondly, yess design in the wild! I'm curious, if you were to break this down even more, what passive skills do you think you're using to analyze and organize this process unconsciously?
