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 confirmation message on the student survey set to remind respondents they can return to edit their answers until midnight on April 30, and to include the grading rubric link. Update the form so the message appears immediately after submission and test it with my email address before I publish on Monday.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I publish this class survey, make the confirmation message easier for students to act on: put the deadline and edit instructions in the first sentence, hyperlink the rubric, and add a single-sentence note about who sees responses. Flag any wording that could sound like grades are final.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I changed the default confirmation text and now worry it sounds final.
I updated the form’s confirmation text after the pilot run and students are emailing me confused that scores look final. I’m worried the message commits to a grading policy I can’t guarantee. I can’t tell them to ignore it without sounding unprofessional. What wording will clearly say ‘you can edit responses until April 30 and grades may change’ without undermining trust, and what immediate fix should I apply?

Become — change the pattern
+Students repeatedly ask whether their submission is final after I publish forms.
Every semester I miswrite the confirmation message and then spend days answering emails about whether submissions or provisional scores are final. Where is the pattern breaking down — drafting under time pressure, failing to use a checklist, or not previewing with a student? Recommend one concrete habit to stop the cycle and a 30-second template line to paste into confirmations so I don’t rewrite them under stress.

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.
