Hypothetical example: The towels are correctly put away; a parent acknowledges completion and treats a later shoe request as separate work.

01Check where the finish line was

Record the original assignment and its stated endpoint.

02Acknowledge completion without a qualification

Check the work against that endpoint.

03Assign further work as further work

Describe any additional request separately.

04Make the next instruction clearer

Rewrite the next instruction so completion is visible.
