Get the One more kick at the cat mug.One-more-stepism (noun): A cyclical pattern of project obstruction where the completion of a task is perpetually delayed by the introduction of a new, unforeseen requirement, often presented as the final step. This phenomenon creates an endless loop of "just one more thing," preventing a project or goal from ever reaching a definitive conclusion.
Psychological Underpinnings
One-more-stepism is often a tactic of psychological manipulation, whether intentional or unintentional. It functions by creating a false sense of progress for stakeholders. By constantly presenting a new "final step," the orchestrator maintains the illusion that the project is on the verge of completion. This can:
Provide a sense of comfort and security: Team members or clients are reassured that work is advancing, which can lower scrutiny and quell anxieties about stagnation.
Exploit commitment bias: Individuals who have already invested significant time, energy, or resources are more likely to agree to "one more step" rather than abandon the project.
Serve as a delay tactic: Malicious actors, or "crooks", can use this method to prolong an engagement for their benefit, such as continuing to bill for services, extracting more resources, or avoiding a final deliverable that they cannot produce. It keeps the other party hooked on the promise of a resolution that never arrives.
