So hereās something simple and powerful I built to support that:
š”The AI clarity & Direction prompt
The following prompt was built to help you answer one clear question:
What should I focus on right now?
šš½ What this prompt will help you do:
- Cut through overwhelm
- Stop second-guessing yourself
- IdentifyĀ one clear focusĀ (not ten competing ideas)
- Create a simple plan you can realistically follow
šš½ This is especially helpful if:
- You feel scattered
- You have too many ideas and no clear priority
- You keep thinking, āI should be further alongā
- Youāre unsure what actually deserves your attention right now

šš½ How to use it (super simple):
1. Copy the prompt below
2. Paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity
3. Answer the questions (doesn't have to be long answers)
