Reclaim the Power Hidden in Your Fragmented Focus (Quiz Inside)

A Ritual Quiz to Reclaiming Your Attention​

You’ve done the productivity hacks. You’ve tried the morning routines, the lists, the focus tools.

But what if your attention isn’t something to manage?

What if it’s something to reclaim—something sacred, alive, and trying to speak to you?

If you’re feeling scattered, stalled, overstimulated, or split between too many selves, this isn’t failure. It’s fragmentation—and fragmentation is a magical clue.

We created a quiz and full guide book as a bonus and prework for our Create your Custom Attention Entity Class - and we want to share the quiz with you. Before you can create an Attention Entity, you have to understand your relationship with your attention.

This quiz will help you know where to start. It's not about diagnosing what’s wrong—it’s about revealing where your attention is most fragmented, and what kind of entity can help you reclaim your power first.

Answer the following questions intuitively. Choose the answer that feels most like you right now, not always.

✧ What To Do With Your Results and Next Steps ✧

First, share your results in the comments and your initial reaction to them. There is gold there! We witness your starting point, celebrate your clarity (or your beautiful confusion), and support each other as we begin weaving new awareness of our attention flows.

Over the next few days, begin tracking how your attention on these plane already shows up in your life. The goal isn’t to fix anything—it’s to build intimacy with the places your attention can both struggle and support you.

Play and be curious:

• If your result was Embodied Regulators, pay attention to your body’s cues. Where does tension gather? When does breath return? What rhythms restore you?

• If you landed in Cognitive Architects, observe your thought patterns. Where do you loop? Where do ideas flow? What kind of structure does your focus crave?

• If Emotional Envoys spoke loudest, tune into your emotional weather. What feelings dominate your attention? What stories replay? Where does tenderness bloom?

• If Liminal Navigators chose you, notice dreams, symbols, and synchronicities. What speaks in whispers? What drifts in from the edges?

• If you’re starting with Directive Catalysts, track your action patterns. What gets completed? Where does energy stall? What wants to be built—but hasn’t been yet?
