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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Start a co-authoring session on the product spec named Spec New Widget v2.docx in the Product channel. Invite Priya and Omar to edit now, lock the header section so only me and Priya can change the goals, and post a note that we’ll finish live edits by 3:30 for the release review.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before we co-author the spec, make it easy to collaborate: add a short change log at the top with the three things we need input on, turn on real-time editing, and highlight the paragraphs that Priya must approve so reviewers don’t waste time.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I invited the team to co-edit but two people are editing the same paragraph and breaking formatting.
We opened Spec New Widget v2.docx for co-authoring and Priya and Omar are simultaneously editing the same section, which scrambles the headings. Should I ask them to take turns in chat, create assigned sections for each person, or roll back to the last stable version and reassign work?

Become — change the pattern
+Co-authoring sessions repeatedly create merge conflicts and slow reviews.
Co-authoring product specs often leaves us with formatting conflicts and unclear ownership. What ritual or file setup should I change so real-time editing stays productive—section ownership, a pre-edit checklist, or scheduled short live sessions—and which will reduce rework most?

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.
