"I can't focus" is six problems wearing the same hat.
The Focus Debugger asks you four questions, tells you which of the six is actually happening — and hands you a two-minute fix for your specific one.
Debug my focus — 60 secondsFour questions. One diagnosis. One fix.
- 1
Start at "I can't focus right now." That's the whole input. No journaling, no personality quiz.
- 2
Answer four honest questions about what's actually going on — your tabs, your energy, your task.
- 3
Get your diagnosis and a two-minute fix. Each one links to the full breakdown if you want to go deeper.
Which one are you right now?
'Try harder' fixes exactly zero of these. Each one has a different fix — that's the whole point.
Attention Residue
Part of your brain is still in the last thing you were doing.
Too Much Work in Progress
You're not distracted — you're overloaded.
Running on Fumes
Not a focus problem. An energy problem.
Wrong Energy Window
You spent your sharp hours on something else.
Unclear Next Action
"Work on the project" isn't an action — it's a category.
Task Aversion
You know what to do. You just don't want to do it.
The Debugger is one card. Here's the rest.
