The four heights

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

We need profiles updated before Friday’s VIP offer. Pull the VIP segment and update missing first names and purchase tiers from our CRM, set language preference to English for anyone with empty values, and export the updated list to Javier in campaign ops for the VIP send approval by noon Friday.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Become — change the pattern

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.
