Thinking like a designer does not always have to be linked to a project, but can also be applied by anyone in everyday life.

For example, one could ask the question: "What if [a certain event occurs]?". Also, when it comes to responsibilities, the whole problem should always be considered instead of the autonomous part. The same applies when you are given a task as a team – here James Clegg lists a number of questions a designer should ask themselves before things even really get started.
