Stick to one point of view.
Limit the story to one time frame. No flashbacks or flash forwards. Just maintain the now time for the story.
The story should have a structure which is composed of exposition, conflict, rising action, climax, and denouement.
Edit. Edit your story till there's no room for unwanted words and sentences. Each sentences should be thought out seriously as they help to build the story.
