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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Make a 60-second channel trailer that opens with our best live clip of the band playing the chorus, includes a two-line on-screen intro: Hi I’m Ruth, acoustic indie singer, shows three quick shots of behind-the-scenes, lists new music every month, and ends with a clear subscribe CTA and link to the latest EP in the description.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I finalise the channel trailer, make it instantly scannable: surface the one line that conveys our publishing rhythm, make the song hook previewable for three seconds near the start, flag any moments that exceed 10 seconds without visual change, and identify the best place to put the subscribe CTA so it’s seen before 20 seconds.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I can’t decide which hook to open the trailer with
I have two candidate hooks for the 60-second trailer: the live chorus from our recent show and a quieter studio riff. I’m worried the live chorus might feel chaotic on a first visit and the studio riff might be boring. I don’t know which will convert new visitors into subscribers most. What’s the likely trade-off and which should I pick to maximize new subscribers?

Become — change the pattern
+We keep making trailers that don’t convert
Over the past year every channel trailer we post converts fewer than 2% of first-time viewers to subscribers. I’m not sure if the problem is inconsistent branding, weak hooks, poor thumbnails, or the trailer length. What single habit or A/B test should I adopt to improve trailer conversion consistently?

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.
