Should i focus on only one time control or others also?

It depends on what your goals are with chess. If you would like to see incremental improvement in your game, play slower time controls and study your mistakes. And if you don't care about improvement, play lots of short games and have fun.

I personally stick to rapid and daily. Chess is a game of perfect information; the person with better logic and strategy will win.
But time limits take that all away.

Focus on lounger games until you hit a peak and then only play rapid and blitz after this - bullet is never good for anything and rots your brain, best ignored.

Rapid is best for learning but 3-min Blitz is better than crack.

I love rapid cause it has the perfect time control to not get stressed in but not get bored like in daily, it’s really your choice but I highly suggest rapid.
