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

Execute — do the immediate task
+Update my profile picture for the team directory. Replace the current image with the headshot I just uploaded, crop to center my face, and ensure it displays correctly at thumbnail size in the staff list.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I set my new headshot for the staff directory, make it presentable where it matters. Crop so my face is centered at thumbnail scale, adjust brightness so it isn’t washed out, and confirm it shows in the mobile app and the web staff list without being stretched or pixelated.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I uploaded my new headshot and it looks fine, but in the staff list it appears blurry and off-center.
I replaced my profile picture with the approved headshot but in the staff directory it’s blurry and my face is cut off. I don’t know if the system is auto-cropping or resizing. Should I re-upload a different resolution, change the crop manually, or ask IT for the required dimensions? Which is fastest and least likely to break other places the photo appears?

Become — change the pattern
+Every time someone new joins, profile pictures require manual fixing and take hours.
Onboarding bogs down because every new hire’s profile photo needs re-cropping and sizing for the staff list and mobile view. Where am I losing time—the upload instructions, the image requirements, or who does the work—and what single change (standard photo spec in the offer email, an upload helper, or assigning it to HR) will remove this recurring task?

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.
