Your Focus Toolkit
📋 What it is
The capstone: build YOUR personal toolkit — pick the few strategies that work for you and use them on purpose.
🗣️ Coach says
You now have a toolbox: offload to free memory, shrink the first step, work in focus cycles, quiz yourself, calm the body, plan the steps. Nobody uses all of them all the time. The skill is knowing WHICH tool a situation needs and reaching for it on purpose. That is what turns "I can’t focus" into "here’s my move".
🧠 Memory hook
Match the TOOL to the moment: can’t start → shrink it · flooded → breathe · forgetting → offload.

My brain's GPS says "recalculating" every time the teacher changes the assignment.
😲 Whoa!
The strongest students aren’t the ones who never lose focus — they’re the ones with a go-to move for when they do.
