To stick to means to only focus on one thing and not get distracted by other things. It's like staying on track and not wandering off. For example, if you stick to studying for your test, you only study and don't do anything else.
Remember, sticking to something doesn't mean you can't take breaks. It's important to rest and recharge so you can come back to your task with fresh energy and focus.
