“Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand”
— Euripides

Simplified Meaning:
When we have something we are currently doing or working on, we should focus on finishing that task before we start thinking about or planning the next one. If we try to think about new things before we finish what we're doing now, we might not do a good job on either task. Imagine you are cooking dinner; if you start thinking about dessert before dinner is ready, you might burn the food. For example, students should finish their homework for today before they start planning for a project due next week. By doing this, they can make sure their current work is completed well and avoid feeling overwhelmed. This way of working helps us stay organized, reduces stress, and makes sure we do our best on every task.
