I spent a lot of time listlessly pushing pieces for a threat that
the enemy can jump out of.
Imminent threat:
Move a piece into position to threaten another.
"If I could just take a turn after this one..."
Why this is poor play:
There are usually multiple points of evasion for a piece, giving
them numerous options to where they can go. Of these, the
enemy's best option is probably results in a position worse for
you than before the threat.

your opponent's, you will have threats that he cannot answer.
When nothing tactical springs to mind, a fairly good rule is to make a move that improves the position
of your worst piece.
