Meaning of someone who covers a lot little squeezes (what is, concept and definition)

What is Whoever embraces little presses:

Whoever embraces too little does not squeeze is a saying that whoever tries to do many things at the same time will not be able to do any good. As such, it is a popular saying, originating in Spain, and extended and used throughout the Spanish-speaking sphere.

The sentence is related to the ambition and the eagerness to deal with matters that exceed our real capacity, hence it carries an implicit warning: we had better focus on a number of companies that are manageable and to which we can give the attention they require, than trying to manage too many things that we cannot control or attend to properly.

The teaching in this sense is that it is preferable to focus on a few things to achieve better results.

In task management this saying can be used as an indisputable principle. To adequately manage our time and energies, it is essential to have the ability to prioritize tasks and focus our attention and energies on a certain number of them. In this way, in a continuous work process, we will be able to effectively perform a number of tasks with great efficiency and quality, and without collapsing.

An example of trying to cover too much would be a person who wants to achieve, in the same year, a promotion at work, write a novel, do an English course and a doctorate, not to mention the time they have to dedicate to housework, his wife, his children and his friends. On the other hand, if this person proceeds in steps, he could achieve everything in the medium and long term without having to sacrifice anything: dedicate two years to promotion, two to a doctorate, one to English, one to the novel, and all without neglecting the family and friends.

This saying is so popular that only the first part of a text can even be used, leaving the second suggested or implicit: Whoever covers a lot...

In addition, it has some variants, such as "whoever embraces a lot, usually does not squeeze", or "whoever tries to encompass a lot, presses little", among others.

In English, it can be translated as “ he who grasps at too much loses everything ” (or who clings to too much, loses everything), or as “ if you run after two hares you will catch neither ” (if you run after two hares no you will catch none).
