What happens when we don’t actively decide?In this episode of The Quiet Future, we explore the hidden power of defaults — the routines, systems, and assumptions that quietly shape our decisions and, over time, our futures. Drawing from behavioural science and futures literacy, Kristiina introduces the Default Audit: a simple, practical tool to surface invisible choices, question the status quo, and gently redesign starting points.Through everyday examples from work, leadership, and daily life, this episode shows why defaults are never neutral — and how small, deliberate changes can restore agency without requiring certainty or control.This episode is for anyone navigating uncertainty and wondering how to act wisely when the future feels unclear.
