*Starting and ending events should be a memorable experience, not a list of logistical concerns.* This reminds me of [[peak-end effect]], leaving people with the memory you want them to hold onto It's kind of like [[begin with the end in mind]]. This is a sentence from the book [[The Art of Gathering]] that helps frame the beginning and end of special events. This matters because [[emotion changes the world we are in]], and we can create the condition for positive emotions at the start and positive memories at the end. ##### What would the opposite argument be? People need a certain amount of awareness of where they are going to be comfortable with where they are at. ##### Sources:
