The four heights

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

What single habit or checklist item would stop the repeat — and one quick technical step to make the update visible to the whole team immediately?

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.
