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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Download the five monthly reports in Reports/June as separate files into the project folder on my laptop. Preserve original filenames, ensure none are flagged for offline-only sync, and confirm all five completed before I close the window.

+Before bulk-downloading the monthly reports, make them easy to spot and validate: sort them by modified date, show file sizes, mark which are drafts, and surface any that are Google-native (so they need conversion). Flag any that exceed 20 MB or that are owned by someone outside the team.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Bulk download stopped converting Google-native files.
I started a bulk download of five monthly reports and the Google-format ones didn’t convert to Office files; downloads came back as links. I don’t know who owns those documents or whether converting will break comments. What’s the likeliest reason they came back as links, who should I ask for conversion rights, and the safest quick fix so I can get usable files today?

Become — change the pattern
+We keep getting links instead of files when downloading multiple docs.
Every month when we bulk-download reports we sometimes get links to native docs instead of files, which delays analysis. What habit should I change to stop this: one step to enforce file formats before download and one team rule to prevent future mixed-format uploads?

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.
