Create and edit bulleted lists

Create and edit bulleted lists in Google Docs — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

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

I have a draft with a section full of loose lines that should be a bulleted list. Convert these sentences into a bulleted list under the heading Action Items, keep each bullet to one sentence, and bold the owner name at the start of any item. Make sure punctuation is consistent and remove duplicate items. I need this ready to paste into the Wednesday agenda.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I send this to the product team, make the list easier to act on: surface the due dates on the right, turn any multi-sentence items into one clear task line, and flag items that lack an owner. Also identify any bullets that read like discussion notes rather than discrete actions and suggest wording to convert them into tasks.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Got a group note dump that was supposed to be action items

The meeting notes look like a brain dump—people, decisions, questions are all mixed into bullets. Julia expects an action list by end of day; she’ll blame me if follow-ups are missed. I can’t tell which items are actual tasks or mere discussion points. What’s the quickest reliable way to separate true action items, assign owners, and rewrite them as single-line bullets so I can send them back to the team?

Become — change the pattern

I keep cleaning up messy action lists after meetings

After every meeting I spend 30–60 minutes turning messy notes into a usable action list because attendees don’t assign owners or deadlines. That delays follow-ups and makes me the default project manager. What process change, template, or habit should I implement so meetings produce clean, owner-assigned bulleted actions without me doing the heavy lifting each time?

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.
