a )What is the most important goal or purpose you should focus on at this point in your life? Why is this purpose important?

b) How much time do you spend focused on it? What are the most trivial or unimportant things you spend time focused on things such as your appearance, impressing your friends or colleagues, spending money on things you don't need, chatting about unimportant things at parties, and the like?

c) What can you do to reduce the amount of time you spend on the trivial and increase the amount of time you spend on the important things?

Explanation / Answer

The most important goal or purpose I should focus on at this point in my life is making me economically stable. This is important as all my necessities of my life will be fulfilled by money. If I will have money I will have all the things that I need; food, clothing, and shelter. I spend 40 hours a week at my job trying to earn my living. The most trivial or unimportant things on which I spend time is chatting about unimportant things at parties and socializing too much on social media.    I can reduce the amount of time I spend on the trivial and increase the amount of time I spend on the important things by making a timetable and recording the hours I spend in each category i.e. important tasks vs the trivial tasks and then reviewing it and comparing it with others of my age group.
