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 the files my team uploaded to open reliably in their native apps. Send the folder named Project Phoenix to the design and engineering leads, make sure each file opens in the app that created it (Sketch files open in Sketch, Word docs open in Word), and confirm any that fail to launch before I brief the client on Friday.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I share Project Phoenix with the developers, make opening friction-free: list which uploaded files are native to external apps, surface any that will try to open only in the web viewer, and flag files that need a different extension or a relinked resource so engineers won't hit errors during review.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+Some uploaded files wouldn’t open in the native app for the designers.
I uploaded a batch of mixed design and document files and the design lead says some won't open in Sketch but open in the web preview. I don't know which files are broken vs which require a different app version. Tell me the most likely cause and the next two practical checks I should run so I can get usable files to the designers before their 10 a.m. review.

Become — change the pattern
+Repeatedly fixing file-open failures before reviews.
Every sprint I end up troubleshooting files that won't open in their native apps and that eats a day before reviews. Which habits should I change so uploads open correctly first time, and what quick checks can I add to our handoff checklist to stop this becoming a Friday scramble?

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.
