There's no such thing, less so in the extremely simplified form that you attempted. If your goal was to create some content to attract customers (which I suspect) then it's OK I guess. If it's to explore ideas about life... Every idea you wrote can be turned 180 degrees and be just as valid.
"prevent yourself from immediate suffering" - what about when it's productive in that it generates a valuable life lesson at a moderate cost?
"prevent yourself from future suffering" - at what cost? Paying now for futures is a risk that involves chance. There's plenty of occasions when it does not make sense to invest for an uncertain future.
"maximize attention" - Downsides: burnout, narrow focus, etc.
