The four heights

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

Update the form’s theme for the end-of-term survey for the Social Studies department: change the header image to the school crest, swap the color scheme to navy and gold, and verify the header scales correctly on phones before I send it to all teachers on Monday.

Improve — make it easier to accept

I replaced the survey header with the school crest and set navy and gold as the color scheme, but teachers report the crest is cropped on phones and contrast makes some text unreadable. I can’t test every device. What likely caused the mismatch and what immediate change will make the header work acceptably on phones and desktops?

I repeatedly fix header images after teachers complain

Every term I get pulled into last-minute fixes because header images crop poorly or colors fail accessibility checks across devices. Where am I losing time and trust, and what simple rule should I adopt when selecting headers and themes so surveys look right for everyone the first time?

Other forms and surveys work people do in Google Forms.

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.
