Stop building. You're probably prioritizing the wrong things and don't know it

Self-Promotion

A month ago I started asking solo founders one simple question . The question was :

what's the most frustrating part of building alone?

I expected answers like , hard to get users.

Instead, almost everyone said some version of the same thing :

"I don't know what I should be prioritizing."

Not because they were lazy. Not because they lacked ideas. But because they were jumping between building, marketing, validating, and mvp etc.. all in the same day with no real sense of what phase they were actually in. It's context switching

Building features and don't even know your users .

I realized I was doing the exact same thing. I built a tool to fix this for myself first. Every week it tells me what phase my project is in and what the single most important action is right now.

Not really a to-do list or a roadmap. Just this week, I do this.

Still figuring it out what can make us move the needle , so I would like to get some quick feedback foundersteps

and I am also curious how do you personally decide what to focus on each week?
