cosplay to get unstuck

When you’re facing a challenge that feels intractable, or your default moves haven’t worked, consider cosplay. Pretend for a bit that you are an elite [something else]. How would that elite, expert [something else] approach this problem? What constraints would they work within and which would they discard? Who would they call first? What moves would they try? (If you want help doing this, ask Claude).

A short list of roles you might consider for your cosplay:

• urban high school principal

• software startup founder

• basketball coach

• grassroots activist

• politician
