Seems like sufficient and well given advice above...
If you interested then find a new instructor and do a few xcountry trips or local flights. Generally the atmosphere increases your flying experience with more professional and experienced pilots and people around.
Once you have settled down in your area, then focus on your school of choice. Not a cpl holder yet but have been a private pilot for the last 5 years and can certainly say that the best thing you could do or probably close to it would be to increase your general flying abilities first before going into advanced stuff. Not sure if you wanna change jobs or what but if you are happy with flying and receiving a paycheck afterwards then you should go for it. As some and yourself have said, focus on your flying and the subjects. atpls are at the top and for an employer to see good results surely would not be detrimental in the hiring process. And an instructor with tailwheel experience may be preferred than an aerobatic rating especially in the bush. School/job dependent obviously.
Do your if rating before the above two if you dont have the addon already.
And for the love of pleasure, do some hours before you start with the exams. Pointless learning the content without knowing the physics and vice versa.
