Should I focus on one or look for many

If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one.

Try to priortize your time because that's a vital skill you should be having. It's good that you want to learn/focus more in your life in order to excel but not at the cost of your health. It's good have multiple goals and even better to succeed in all but not at all good to moan and regret later so if you think you're trapped in this loop take a pause and focus more on the quality instead of the quantity and bounce back 😎

Just shoot em/ set traps. Problem solved. 🐒

Focus on one main thing actively and another passively..

But a shepherd focus on 100s of sheeps and he always got them all every single time. Just another pov 🤪

Few reasons of demotivation.

1. You are unwillingly trying to learn/achieve something which might be useful for you in future.
2. You wish to learn/achieve something but you don't put enough efforts. You give up.

There should be strong will/desire and ability/skill to put efforts at the time of goal setting.

If these 2 things are not in sync, then it's probably not going to work in long term.

No harm in running behind two goals bro, but they shouldn't be mutually exclusive. In the latter case, it's better to choose and give it the best shot. 

As others said already, prioritize and allocate time

BTW, what kind of goals are we talking about specifically? Professional or personal 

One can't be good at too many things anyway so even if you start with many things you need to drop the things you find you are not good at & focus on remaining things.

Jaise dawaat mein hota hai naa, pehle sab cheez thoda thoda plate mein daal lete hein, try karte hein, aur fir jo sabse jyada tasty lagta hai use dabaa ke khaate hein bas waise hi.. aur fir lete hein dakaar bhai mazaa aa gaya karke 😀

No. I meant when we try something and we know/feel that we like it then we should definitely make another attempt at it. If still it holds our attention, then we should think about it consciously and make a go at it.

as the title says, whether one should focus on one goal in his/her life or one should focus many/multiple goals in his/her life.

"Focus on a single thing at a time" statement itself is the biggest scam in the world. I will tell why. You learnt math, history, geography, MIL, language papers etc at school. Right? You didn't study only math for example. Similarly no matter how busy we are, we all drink water, eat food, excrete poop, pee n sweat, have sleep etc. These things are mandatory in nature. Some jobs are very dynamic in nature. Ex: Driving an automobile. You start focusing too much then boom. If you get distracted then also boom. 

Every person has 24 hrs a day, 28/29/30/31 days in a month as per the type of the month and 365 days a year. So, this is universal for all people. 

What to do then?

• Plan properly. First know what to know. If you don't know what to know then you will be beating around the bush.
• Get a time estimate for the job. Get a realistic view.
• Then divide your entire project in to small chunks. And achieve them. 🙂🙂
• It is all about priority.
• If your project is short and it needs demanding efforts then giving up everything and achieving it is the usual goal. But if your project is a long term one then it demands consistency. Sprints n marathons are different things and demand different approaches. You need to identify the things.
• Stop procrastinating and start today. 🙂

Trying not to run behind two but everytime I start chasing one as I get myself more and more involved running behind one goal, somehow my inner minds reminds me for other two goals and it get distracted & leaving aside everything I keep checking my progress in other goals thus losing focus on everything.

Trying to focus on one bro but always feel like distraction around me is much much much stronger than my focus, it's not like I am not passionate towards my professional goals but then sometimes people, sometimes my own other goals come as distraction to me and I lose my track and thus keeps wandering like a traveller who lost his part.

It seem like my passive mind is not strong enough then cause I am doing exactly what you said bro, my primary goal I am working on it on daily basis while the other two's I am working passively on them, but what happens it since I know other two goals I keep getting distracted and keep going back to them just to check whether I am still on them or not.

I think I ca connect with this, (not boasting myself) I am quite passionated for my first goal waking up early around 5 AM for the same, but I am not much passionated towards my third goal cause I believe that If I achieve my first goal itself then I would never need to go and try Goal B and C but the thing is mind is making me work very defensive it's saying to me what If you failed to achieve Goal A, then If you keep working on both Goal B and C too then If one failed you can always workout with other two but I want to give 100% of my Goal A but my own other two goals are creating distraction for me along with the people around me.

All three are professional goals bro nothing personal just related to the future / career oriented / life settling sort of things before marriage.

Exactly that's what I want to do bro, but what happens is my mind is working very defensive it is like keep back up plans and work on other two goals too so that If one failed you will have two more to work out and this thing is working as a distraction for me, trying hard from a month to change mindset but nothing worked hence posted this on DD.

My primary goal is very very very long like maybe 5 years from today while other two goals are very short time goal maybe that's why biki bro my mind is going towards other two goals cause it is looking it like they require very short time and hence mind is thinking that lets do them they will be achieved easily but with those two goals problem is that even result is very short, primary goal will take 5 years of time but that goal may help me get settled in my career and life and thus make me a settled person before my marriage, hence I want to divert my attention towards primary goal only so that I achieve a long term results with it I am confused what to do I am trying from last 1 month and everytime I try to take break from other things and focus on primary goal only some distractions comes in form of people around me or other goals or any other thing and I lose my track of my primary goal.
