Which of the following life errors / anti-errors categories are the most important to fix or get right:
If you had a weakness in one or more of these areas, which would be the most critical to fix first. If we can only optimize so much in our lives, especially at a time, which ones are the most worth the focus and concentration to identify and make changes.

In other words, if we are all trying to reduce error in our lives so we can have a better life, it would be an error to put energy into the wrong one and put other problems unresolved. How do we make sure we have our preference for our focus right?
If it’s harming your health, people you love, your future self, or your soul—deal with it now.
Creative outlet because it can reduce the impact of other negatives such as fulfilling job, unresolved past, insufficient social life. It auto-solves time allocation to a degree. It gives you something to get up for what the Japanese call Ikigai. So the meaninglessness of your job won't matter as much if you do it simply to support yourself so you can work on your creative things. Positive psychology suggests that focusing on somehow resolving the past isn't as effective as having something (like the name suggests) positive in your life, or at least it helps to first have that. Your brain releases dopamine when you do it, that already improves happiness a lot. And if you have a creative outlet but no social life, that can actually help you focus on the endeavour, meanwhile a social life can make you happier but still function as a distraction that keeps your life superficial.
The Japanese would be the best at mitigating the ills of having a meaningless job.
Or not because they do the whole work drinking thing. If there is one thing I've learned it's to not always learn from the Japanese. Everything they do is either really smart or really stupid. They are some of the better people to learn from if you are very selective.
