The four heights

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

Add hashtags to this coffee shop’s morning post so local customers find it: include #BrooklynCoffee, #MorningRitual, #FlatWhite, #LocalRoasters, and one geo-tagged hashtag for Bushwick. Keep the total to six and avoid any banned or overbroad tags. Post with the image at 7:30am tomorrow.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I attach hashtags, make them work harder: surface three that drive local discovery, one niche tag for specialty beans, and one community tag our regulars follow; suggest moving the handful into the first comment to keep the caption clean, and flag any tags that are shadowbanned or too saturated.

I pulled together 30 hashtags for the product drop, but the social lead says that looks spammy and might trigger algorithm penalties.

Every campaign we spend hours creating hashtags and then scrap them; we lose traction and repeat mistakes. What three habits will stop that churn—how to build a reusable shortlist by campaign type, who maintains it, and a quick test to retire underperforming tags—so our discovery improves without reinventing hashtags each time?

Other social platform work people do in Instagram.

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.
