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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Send the 'Course feedback' form to the students list and copy department admin. Use the class email list I used last week, set the deadline for Friday at 5pm, and include a brief note saying I need results for the meeting; check the message and recipient list for accuracy before sending.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I email the form to students, make it easy to get a high response rate: write a two-line subject that names the course and incentive, place the deadline and expected time-to-complete in the top of the message, and call out one question students often find confusing. Flag any recipients who were added after last week's mail as a likely source of bouncebacks.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I scheduled the send but I'm unsure who got the invite
I scheduled the form to be emailed to the class but I'm not sure whether graduate TAs and the lab section list were included. The program director will ask tomorrow. I don't know if I selected the right list or if the scheduled job failed. What quick checks can I run to confirm who will receive the email and to resend only to missed recipients if needed?

Become — change 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.
