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 you to send a draft of the support handover email I wrote to Priya in product and to Marcus in onboarding for review, in that order, with a Friday 5pm deadline for comments. Before you send, check the subject line reads: Support handover — Acme Corp, summarize the three open tickets in the first paragraph, and attach the latest incident report. Send as a normal email so their replies thread to me.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I share this draft with Priya in product and Marcus in onboarding, make it trivially scannable for a reviewer: put a two-sentence summary of the ask and the risk at the top, bold the three action items and who owns each, pull the proposed timeline into a single line, and flag anything that would make Priya hesitate (missing logs, unclear SLA, or unresolved customer contact).

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I just hit send on a draft that should have gone to Priya first but I’m not sure Marcus needs to see the whole ticket list
I sent the draft to Marcus and Priya at once instead of Priya first; Marcus handles onboarding and the ticket details might confuse him. I’m afraid Priya will miss the prioritized fixes and blame me for not escalating properly. I can’t tell whether Marcus already read it. What’s the likely damage and the best next step to correct recipients and preserve trust?

Become — change the pattern
+I keep sending drafts to the whole group instead of sequencing reviewers
I keep losing control of review order: I blast drafts to everyone and then chase conflicting comments. Across projects this costs a day and damages my credibility with product owners. What habit should I change to get predictable review sequencing, how to enforce it without sounding passive-aggressive, and one checklist item to use before hitting send?

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.
