The four heights

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

My form emails miss groups or send duplicates

Over several terms my form emails either miss part of the class or send duplicate invites, creating confusion and extra follow-up. This eats into my prep time and makes me look disorganized. What one habit and one naming convention should I adopt so sends are accurate and predictable?

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.
