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
Staging is logically unnecessary, but psychologically valuable out-of-order execution so that a lot of the work-in-progress evolves in a context as close to execution or launch context as possible
Dress the project for the job it wants, not the job it has

Replying to
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
