The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need a three-panel brochure for my bakery, The Blue Door Bakehouse, to hand out at Saturday's farmers market. Include a front panel with logo and tagline 'Fresh every morning', an inside panel listing morning pastries with prices, a middle panel with a map to our shop at 214 Maple Street and our hours, and the back panel with order phone 555-0192 and an Instagram handle @bluedoorbakes. Before sending to print on Friday, check fonts read at 8pt and that bleed and trim are set for 8.5x11 folded.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I send this brochure to the market outreach team, make it impossible for a harried vendor to miss the ordering details: move the phone and Instagram to the bottom-right of the back panel in bold, surface a 'Preorder by Friday for Saturday pickup — call 555-0192' banner on the inside, increase contrast between text and background for the pastry list, and flag any ingredient allergens that would make a vendor pause (nuts, dairy, gluten).

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+They gave me a graphic that looks cute but the price list is unreadable.
I just received a PDF from our designer with crowded script font for pastry names and the price column is illegible under market light. Sarah from events will hand this to older customers who squint. I cannot ask for a full redesign because budget is tight. Is the fastest fix to swap to a clear sans at 11pt and move prices to the right with a pale solid background, or should I instead simplify copy, enlarge spacing, or reorder items by popularity? Which change most reliably reduces reading errors at a stall?

Become — change the pattern
+Brochures keep getting redone the night before markets and costing rush print fees.
Every month we burn a Tuesday evening reworking brochures because pricing or hours change, then pay overnight print for Saturday. I keep losing time and credibility with volunteers who show up with old flyers. What single habit or handoff do I change so the market brochure becomes stable a week before the event and nobody scrambles to update copy at the last minute?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
