2. Focus

There is nothing wrong in putting effort into a relationship with loved ones or turning your attention towards finding a new partner or a new friend. But you will need to first of all focus on yourself and to make yourself better and work on yourself so you can achieve your personal goals.
Most importantly you have to focus on one thing at a time, the human brain is not capable of multi-tasking effectively and it’s way better to focus on one thing at a time.
If you try to multi-task you will only be jumping to one task to another without giving your full attention to one thing. Everything will take longer to complete, and the finished product won’t be as good as it could have been.
