As I’m a freelancer (someone who does independent work online), I really
need to hone in (focus in) on getting my work done. I tend to space out
(become unfocused) when I have to sit down and finish a task, so I really need
to work on that to be more efficient. Furthermore, I need to concentrate on
finding a new house, as my lease will expire soon.
