Some habits of thoughts in mathematics which are useful outside mathematics are:

**Quantitative thinking** - Often it is very important to understand quantitative aspects of an issue. 

**Logical thinking** - Mathematics is a very clear platform for precise logical thinking.   

**Computational thinking** - Often we need to make some computations, to write some formulas and manipulate them, in order to address an issue

**probabilistic thinking** - The ability to think about luck, chance, risks and decisions in probabilistic terms and to draw insights from probability theory is important in many areas
