-This is a step-by-step guide to holding prehearsals for home futurists, distributed collectives and people with complex life-changing questions. It is a work in progress which has been tested with individuals and small groups, and will be revised and refined as more prehearsals are realised.

 When you go back to your daily life, periodically remind yourself of the key question and the various forces acting on your situation. Watch for early indicators of possible scenarios and adjust your actions accordingly. Remember what you felt like during the prehearsal -- what you did as individuals and as a collective, and what impact that had on the simulated situation.
