Your focus may or may not change several times during a session or season of sessions, because preparation and productivity are constantly interacting with each other. Your preparation also may change because your priorities or schedule(s) change.

(a) preparation strengths
(b) preparation weaknesses
(c) various combinations of both of the above

As your awareness grows you will discover several areas where you can cultivate your skills.
