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’m preparing a client memo that must use the firm’s font policy. Change the body text to the firm font, convert headings to the approved heading font, and ensure size 11 for body and size 13 for headings. Send the updated memo back to me for a final read by Thursday afternoon.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I send this memo to the partner, make the font and style choices support quick review: switch to a clean serif for body, make legal citations a slightly smaller font size so they don’t dominate, and ensure consistent bolding for defined terms. Point out any places where inconsistent styling obscures meaning.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

The partner commented that the memo looks amateurish because of mixed fonts.

The partner called out mixed fonts and said it undermines credibility. I don’t know whether the problem is different fonts pasted in, manual overrides, or style definitions. Diagnose the most likely cause and give me a short, safe repair: which styles to reset, which manual formatting to remove, and the exact settings to lock in the firm’s font across the document.

Become — change the pattern

I keep having to fix stray font changes after collaborators edit the file.

Every collaborative memo ends up with inconsistent fonts and wasted time normalizing styles. Where do we lose style fidelity — individual edits, lack of shared styles, or platform differences — and what one habit or setting change will prevent this from happening on the next shared draft?

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.
