So, once you make decision to focus on self improvement and want to invest your precious time to improve life, focus on one area at a time.

For instance, if you feel that you have poor time management skills and lack proper concentration levels, pick one task at a time and explore different ways to improve it.

Don’t expect immediate results

Once you’ve selected the area to work up on, don’t expect immediate results. Even though, if you work really hard to sow seeds, it takes some time to get better yield.
