Hi Carrie,
I think there's about as many ways to be STO as there are things to do in this world. As far as thinking in STO terms, it's a simple matter of evaluating a situation and seeing if you can be of service in some way. I would be quick to add however, that I do not think it wise to attempt to make every single waking second of your life a decision between STO and STS actions or thoughts. That's a quick way to burn out and ultimately won't help you or anyone else out much.
Another way of thinking on this is simply to be who you are, being who you are most comfortable being. Try not to worry so much about being "STO enough", as that is another mental trap, in my opinion.
I hope that is helpful!
