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 new hire checklist for Engineering staffed in Cambridge to be sent to Priya in People and to Mateo the hiring manager for e-signature by next Friday. Make sure every step has an owner, a deadline, and a link to the code repo and laptop image. Check the account provisioning items are present before routing it for signatures.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I publish the onboarding doc for interns joining on May 4, surface the two-week essentials at the top: laptop setup, credentials, Slack channels and first-week mentor. Make the sequence scannable, flag anything that needs approval (hardware order, VPN access), and call out who to ping if a step stalls.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I uploaded a half-complete onboarding checklist and the hiring manager says it's missing access steps.
I just added the checklist for the new Cambridge engineer and Mateo says I left out inventory and admin approvals. I own rollout, Mateo owns hiring, Priya owns provisioning. I am worried this will delay the start date but I don't know what provisioning steps People actually run or who signs the hardware order. What likely is missing and what should I do next to unblock the new hire this week?

Become — change the pattern
+Onboarding docs repeatedly miss provisioning and laptop steps.
Across five hires this quarter we've kept missing the account and laptop provisioning steps and then racing to fix access on day one. I own the documentation and Priya owns provisioning; hiring managers complain that starts are delayed and new hires are frustrated. Where is our process breaking—what habit should I change in how I collect and validate onboarding info so provisioning is consistently completed before the start date?

Other docs and databases work people do in Notion.
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.
