Decision & Focus for Makers
A reflective guide designed to help you choose what deserves your attention right now — and what can wait — so your energy supports meaningful progress instead of constant reconsideration.
What This Guide Is For
The Foundations: Maker Decisions & Focus Guide is designed for moments when you already understand your direction — but feel scattered, pulled, or unsure where to place your effort next.
This guide is not about generating ideas or exploring options.
It’s about settling decisions long enough for real progress to happen.
Inside, you’ll find calm, structured prompts that help you:
Clarify what truly matters in your current season
Identify decisions that need to be locked — not revisited
Release ideas that are important, but not right now
Reduce the mental noise that slows execution
This is a guide you return to when everything feels active — and nothing feels finished.
What This Guide Is Not
This guide is not:
A productivity system
A planning worksheet
A checklist for doing more
A replacement for foundational planning
It does not tell you what to choose.
It helps you understand why a choice deserves your focus — and when it doesn’t.
If you’re still determining how or where you want to sell, the Foundations Orientation resources are the better place to begin.
How This Fits Within the Foundations System
The Foundations system supports makers across different stages of clarity:
Orientation helps you understand where you are and what options make sense.
Decision & Focus helps you commit to a direction without second-guessing every step.
Execution tools support planning and action once focus is established.
This guide sits between orientation and execution.
It exists to protect your attention — so planning tools and execution resources can actually work as intended..
How to Use This Guide
This guide sits between orientation and execution.
There’s no required order and no expectation to complete it all at once.
You might use this guide:
Before starting a new project
When you feel busy but unfocused
When you’re tempted to pivot without clarity
When you need permission to let something wait
Read slowly. Skip sections if needed.
The value comes from honest reflection, not completion.

There’s no requirement to read it now — or all at once.
It’s designed to be returned to whenever clarity feels harder to hold.
A Note Before You Begin
Not every important idea needs your attention right now.
Choosing focus is not about limitation —
it’s about creating space for progress to feel lighter and more intentional.
You’re not behind.
You’re refining your direction.
