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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Share the pricing spreadsheet with Raj in chat: send Pricing Sheet May 2026.xlsx from the Pricing channel to Raj, include a one-line note explaining the 10% discount row and ask him to confirm by 4:00 today so I can update the quote.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before sharing the pricing file in chat, make it easy for Raj to respond: attach the exact sheet with the 10% discounted rows filtered visible, put the summary line ‘10% applies to tier B only’ at the top of the message, and call out any cells where assumptions might make him hesitate.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I shared the spreadsheet but Raj says he can’t open it on mobile.
I just sent Pricing Sheet May 2026.xlsx to Raj in chat and he replied that he can’t open it on his phone. Should I instead paste a PDF snapshot of the relevant table, copy the three key numbers into the message, or ask him to open on desktop—what gets me a reliable yes by 4:00?

Become — change the pattern
+I get pinged repeatedly after sharing files in chat because people can’t find the right cell.
Whenever I share spreadsheets in chat, colleagues ask follow-up questions because the important numbers aren’t obvious. What simple habit or message template should I adopt so every shared file includes the one-line context, the key figure, and a clear ask to reduce back-and-forth?

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.
