My dad always advices me to put my 100% effort and concentration when I am doing something, such as when someone is asking me a help. I can’t seem to do so because I take things playfully. This causes me to take wrong desicions, my family and relatives to think twice before asking me to do something. How can I fix this? I want to put my 100% concentration when I’m doing something, which includes my studies, lifestyle and many more?
How can I put my 100% effort when I am doing something important?

Leave social media. It would do you wonders tbh.
It’s great that you’re aware of this and want to improve. The first step is setting clear intentions before starting anything, whether it’s studying, helping someone, or anything else. Remind yourself of the importance of the task and how it affects you and others. Break things down into manageable chunks, so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Try setting a timer for focused work (like the Pomodoro Technique), where you concentrate fully for a set time, then take a break. Also, eliminating distractions is key, put your phone away, find a quiet space, and prioritize what’s in front of you. It’s a skill that takes time, but the more you practice, the easier it will become
Imagine the task at hand is one that will make the difference between you achieving your goals and your failing and going to jail.
Basically you want to put yourself in a state of doing something vitally important where doing it wrong means a very high price to you personally
I think it’s entire normal to not put 100% effort into something someone else tells you to do. Your dad isn’t raising some drone, is he?
If he wants your full attention, he’s got to provide you the motivation to give it your 100%. And just telling you “I want you to give this 100%” is not how that works.
