Haman, may his name be blotted out, can mean in Hebrew to prepare, as we find many places (Yechezkal 5:7), like by Jona (2:1, 4:6,7,8) וימן, and he summoned or arranged to be - הזמנה. Even the manna that fell from Heaven, our Sages revealed that it was done with preparation (as opposed to the meat that they asked for). Amulaik the Torah tells us ambushed us on our way out of Egypt, using the word "kuruh" - happened. Lack of preparation. And our Sages revealed that the mitzva of machatzis hashekel saved us from the thousands of shekel that Haman bribed Achashvairosh to kill the Jews. Shekel is a weight, and it can also mean to weigh, as in to consider, and half a shekel can signify a preparatory consideration. We even find that Hashem give weight to the wind/spirit (Job 28:25), this is the weight of the ambiance and the spirit of the mitzva - see also the previous post how Hashem showed Moshe the weight of the half-shekel in fire.
Also we find by the Esau, the grandfather of Amulaik, that he didn't kiss the mezuza on his way out (this is a Medrash taught to the children, and Rabbi Nussun brings it down), kissing the mezuza on the way out is preparation, fortifying oneself with the holiness of the home on his way out into the public domain (even though we also kiss the mezuza from room to room, that is a different aspect).

The very essence of the mitva of destroy Amulaik, is a mitzva of preparation, to remember and prime one self to destroy them.
Also specifically in the kavanos to Purim the Ramchal decided to explain how all mitzvos first are presented to empower their doer, who should first say a Lishaim Yichud - expression of intent before doing the mitzva, and even the mitzva itself still needs to rise to where it will rise and effect what it will effect. This is something extra pertinent and innate about Purim.
Also Rabbainu revealed that now all beginnings are from Purim, and the real beginning is when a person takes upon himself to do the mitzva as Rashi brings from the Michilta (Exodus 12:28) that it is like they already did the mitzva, and in fact on Purim the Jews accepted the Torah anew.
Also Rabbainu said that the reading of Puru is a preparation for Pesach, and Puru seems to be a continuation of the Pur of Purim.
Rabbainu said that we shouldn't settle for less than the actual physical fulfillment of the good deeds themselves, but even still the main thing is the rutzon - the desire and will to do them, be what may, and nothing can damage or detract from that good will and commitment. And so when we celebrate this aspect of holiness - the consideration and the will to do good, then even if things go drunk, we have nothing to fear or worry about.
And do Yom Kippur is only - Ki - Purim.
Perhaps that is what Nuduv and Aveyhu achieved when they brought the ketores (incense) into the holy of holies, while they were intoxicated. Because they were doing even the actual mitzva on the sheer level of rutzon, and so they ascended to Heaven by fire, leaving their body-half down here.

The reason why Purim is all about preparation for the mitzva, is because it is the time HY revealed to us the great schemes and preparations of HY in what goes on in the world.
These thoughts I am sharing are also just a preparation...
