It is about what is important
The other stuff is unnecessary; it belongs in the trash can.
Too much energy can be spent on unimportant things. Whether it is because you cannot distinguish the important from the unimportant or because you are trying to please someone, time spent outside of what is important is time wasted.
Focus only on the important things. Prioritize them, focus on them, spend the time needed on them and get them done.
The rest are to be ignored or forgotten.
