Driving awareness, scanning, planning weakness , HELP

How can I improve my driving awareness, anticipation, and planning?

I've noticed that one of my weaknesses while driving is not being as aware, anticipatory, or proactive as I should be. Sometimes, I react late to situations instead of planning ahead, and I want to improve this skill to be a safer and smoother driver.

For those who have worked on this, what techniques or habits helped you the most? Are there any specific exercises, mindset shifts, or even apps that helped train better anticipation and planning on the road?
