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

Execute — do the immediate task
+This sender just emailed with a purchase question and I want to follow up. Add Priya Sharma from priya.sharma@acme.com to my contacts with her company Acme Solutions and note ‘purchase leads — follow up next week’. Include her phone number if it’s in the signature.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before adding, extract useful fields from the signature and message: company name, job title, phone, timezone. Put the reason to contact up front — ‘purchase lead’ — and warn if the sender uses a generic team inbox that shouldn’t be added as a single contact.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I just received an email that looks like a sales lead but the signature is sparse.
I got a brief inquiry from someone at Acme and I don’t know if it’s a personal contact or a generic team address. I’m afraid adding the wrong contact will clutter my list. Should I add priya.sharma@acme.com as a contact now or wait for a clearer identifier? Recommend the best next step and why.

Become — change the pattern
+I never add contacts promptly and then can’t find follow-ups
I keep ignoring new contacts in emails and later spend time hunting histories when it’s time to follow up. What habit should I adopt so important contacts get captured without adding noise? Propose one checklist step I can apply to every qualifying email and how to audit it weekly.

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.
