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 latest product roadmap file that Sarah in Product updated this morning. From the Marketing channel files, find the roadmap named Roadmap Q3 2026 v3.xlsx, confirm it shows Sarah as last editor and the timestamp is today, then paste its link into the status thread so Tim in Sales can review before our 11:00 stand-up.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I drop the roadmap into the status thread, make it easy for Tim to approve: surface the key milestone dates at the top, confirm which items changed since last week, and flag any rows where resource owners are blank so he can decide whether to escalate.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I searched but got too many ‘Roadmap’ results and the team is waiting.
I searched channel files for Roadmap Q3 2026 and got eight similarly named spreadsheets. Sarah is the only one who could confirm which is current but she’s in meetings. Which file is most likely the one she updated today and what’s the fastest way to verify without waking her—should I check the file’s Last Modified time, open the workbook to look for a ‘last updated by’ cell, or message Tim to confirm?

Become — change the pattern
+I waste time hunting duplicate documents in channel files every sprint.
Every sprint I spend 20–40 minutes chasing the latest roadmap among multiple copies in the Marketing channel. Where am I losing time and credibility, and what habit should I institute so the whole team keeps one source of truth and I stop playing librarian?

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.
