Anybody have any good tricks you use to “stage” an extended effort? Examples:
Dry runs/rehearsals
Mockups
Putting non-critical scaffolding in place even
Acquiring presentation material (business cards, schwag, suit)
About pages
Signing up for services before they’re needed
Conversation
Waterfall planning works to the extent it is about conscious staging
It fails to the extent it’s about creating a false sense of security around uncertainty
Don’t make Gantt charts where there are no actual constraints, do dry runs of launch day and work backwards instead

On the woo end, visualization works to the extent it is about staging
It fails to the extent it’s about catalyzing motivation via desires/aversions
Ie it is advance behavioral conditioning

When the unreal is made real even for show, the surreality of it brings sharp relief to the chasm and what needs to be done to bridge it.
