Focus on cadence or power?

Just purchased an entry level trainer. Purpose was to adjust clip-on aeros on a touring bike, for comfort, not performance.

I keep track of cadence and power. My "natural" cadence is low (60-70 rmp). I push 150W. (I am m68).

Most discussions appear to involve competitive cyclists, and emphasize power.

If someone here is randonneur or tourer and has wisdom to share, I'll read with interest. For now I plan to speed up cadence up to ... 90? Perhaps do a couple of intervals - consensus seems to be that this is how you can improve...
