e.g. I make sporadic efforts to sort out my files.
2. to emphasise that two or more different actions were taken to achieve something
e.g. In efforts to lose weight, I cut down on fatty foods AND took up running.
In the second case you can also use 'in an effort to' with no change in meaning. It's up to you if you want to refer to a series of actions as a concerted effort or as separate parts of that effort.
