Hello, dear friends, and welcome back to The Cozy English.
2
I'm Emma, and I'm so glad you're here with us again.
3
Hi, everyone.
4
I'm Daniel.
5
You know, Emma, I've been thinking a lot about today's topic.
6
It's kind of serious, right?
7
It is, but it's also important.
8
Today we're talking about something that touches everyone – time.
9
time.
10
More exactly, how not to waste it,
11
because we're not young forever.
12
That sounds a little scary.
13
Maybe.
14
But think of it this way.
15
Time is the most precious gift we have.
16
We can earn more money,
17
we can buy more things,
18
but we can never buy back time.
19
That's true.
20
Sometimes I feel like days just disappear.
21
I wake up, do a little work,
22
check my phone, and suddenly it's evening.
23
Yes, I know that feeling too.
24
It's almost like sand slipping through our fingers.
25
We don't notice until it's gone.
26
So, the real question is,
27
how do we use our time well?
28
That's the heart of it.
29
We use it by remembering that every hour is valuable.
30
Even simple moments, like talking with a friend,
31
learning something new, or just enjoying a walk, are treasures.
32
I like that word, treasures.
33
It makes me think that even small things in daily life can be meaningful.
34
Exactly.
35
And here's something I've noticed.
36
When we see time as treasure, we live more carefully.
37
We choose better.
38
We don't let our hours just disappear without meaning.
39
That makes sense.
40
I guess I need to ask myself,
41
am I spending time or am I investing it?
42
Beautifully said, Daniel.
43
Spending means it's gone with nothing to show.
44
Investing means it grows into something – skill, joy, love or memory.
45
So, if I spend an hour learning English, it's an investment.
46
But if I spend an hour scrolling on my phone without thinking,
47
it's just gone yes and the more we see time this way the more powerful our choices become
48
you're right time really is precious i don't want to waste it anymore none of us do
49
and that's why this conversation matters because once we see the value of time we can start to live more fully
50
more wisely, and more joyfully.
51
Daniel, in the last section,
52
we talked about time as treasure.
53
But there's something even more delicate about time.
54
Our youth.
55
Hmm.
56
Youth.
57
You mean being young, full of energy?
58
Exactly.
59
Youth is a gift.
60
When we're young, we think we have endless time.
61
We believe our bodies will always be strong.
62
Our energy will always return.
63
But the truth is, youth doesn't last forever.
64
That makes me a little sad.
65
Because sometimes I do feel young,
66
but other times, I already feel tired.
67
That's natural.
68
And it's not about fear.
69
It's about awareness.
70
When we're aware that youth is limited,
71
we can use it wisely.
72
You know, I remember when I was a teenager,
73
I could stay up all night,
74
eat junk food, and still feel fine the next morning.
75
Now, even one late night makes me feel like a zombie.
76
Yes, that's such a clear reminder.
77
Our bodies change, and our energy changes too.
78
That's why wasting time becomes more costly as we grow older.
79
So, you're saying we should take advantage of our energy while we still have it?
80
Exactly.
81
Not in a pressured way,
82
but in a grateful way.
83
Youth is a season, like spring.
84
Flowers don't bloom forever.
85
But while they bloom, they bring beauty and life.
86
That's a beautiful picture.
87
But Emma, isn't it also true that people can do meaningful things even when they're older?
88
Of course.
89
Every age has its own strength.
90
But youth is special because it gives us extra energy and courage to build a foundation.
91
For example, learning languages, starting habits, or developing skills.
92
They all grow easier when you start earlier.
93
I see.
94
So if I waste my youth only on entertainment or laziness,
95
I might regret it later when I don't have the same energy.
96
Yes.
97
And regret is heavy.
98
That's why awareness now is so powerful.
99
It lets us use youth as a blessing instead of letting it slip away.
100
I think I needed this reminder.
101
Sometimes I tell myself, I'll do it later, I have time.
102
But maybe I don't have as much time as I think.
103
Exactly.
104
That little voice, I'll do it later, is dangerous.
105
Later may come, but youth may not wait.
106
That hits me.
107
Maybe I should start now, not tomorrow.
108
Yes, Daniel.
109
And to our listeners, maybe you can ask yourselves,
110
what is one thing I've been waiting to start?
111
Can I begin today while I still have energy?
112
That's powerful.
113
Youth isn't endless, but if we use it well,
114
its impact can last a lifetime.
115
Beautifully said.
116
Youth is not forever, but what you do with it can echo forever.
117
Daniel, we've talked about time as treasure and how youth doesn't last forever.
118
But there's another challenge we face today – distractions.
119
Oh yes, I know this one too well.
120
My biggest enemy is my phone.
121
I pick it up just to check one message and suddenly 40 minutes have disappeared.
122
Exactly.
123
Distractions are sneaky.
124
They don't take whole days at once they steal little pieces.
125
Ten minutes here, half an hour there,
126
until suddenly the whole day is gone.
127
And the worst part is,
128
I don't even feel good after.
129
I just feel empty.
130
Like I wasted my energy on nothing.
131
Yes, that's the trap.
132
Distractions give us the illusion of pleasure,
133
but they rarely give us real satisfaction.
134
So, Emma, why do we fall into them so easily?
135
I think because distractions are easy and meaningful things are often harder.
136
Watching videos feels effortless.
137
Studying, working, creating, that takes focus.
138
Our brains naturally choose the easy path.
139
That's true.
140
Sometimes, even when I plan to study,
141
my hand just reaches for the phone, almost like a reflex.
142
Yes, it becomes a habit.
143
And habits are powerful.
144
But the good news is,
145
we can build new ones.
146
How?
147
One way is awareness.
148
When you notice yourself reaching for the phone,
149
pause and ask, Is this really how I want to spend my next 20 minutes?
150
That question alone could save me a lot of time.
151
Yes.
152
Another way is replacement.
153
Instead of only removing distractions,
154
give yourself something meaningful to fill the space,
155
like listening to a podcast, writing, or even resting.
156
So it's not just about stopping, it's about choosing better.
157
Exactly.
158
And sometimes it helps to create little boundaries.
159
For example, I don't keep my phone near my bed at night.
160
That way, my mornings begin calm, not chaotic.
161
Oh, I always check my phone first thing.
162
No wonder my mornings feel messy.
163
You see, small changes can protect your time.
164
It's strange, isn't it?
165
We say we don't have time,
166
but really, time is often hiding in the places we waste it.
167
That's true.
168
Distractions don't just steal time, they also steal opportunities.
169
The chance to grow, to rest deeply,
170
to connect with people we love.
171
That makes me think, how many moments with family or with myself have I lost because I was staring at a screen?
172
That's a powerful question.
173
And it's not about guilt, it's about awareness.
174
When we see the cost of distractions,
175
we can begin to take back our time.
176
Yes.
177
And maybe listeners can ask themselves too,
178
what's the biggest distraction in my life right now?
179
And what small step can I take to reduce it?
180
Exactly.
181
Because when we free ourselves from distractions,
182
we don't just save time.
183
We give life back to ourselves.
184
Daniel, once we notice distractions and how they steal our time,
185
the next question is, what should we use that time for?
186
Right.
187
If I take away the phone,
188
the videos, the endless scrolling, I suddenly have hours.
189
But then I wonder, what do I actually want to do with them?
190
That's the heart of the matter – choosing what truly matters.
191
Because time is limited, we can't do everything.
192
But we can choose the things that give life meaning.
193
Hmm.
194
That sounds beautiful, but also a little heavy.
195
What if I choose the wrong things?
196
That's a fair fear, but often the answer is simple.
197
Ask yourself, what will I be glad I did when I look back a year from now?
198
I like that.
199
A year from now, I don't think I'll remember the hours I spent watching funny clips,
200
but I'll remember the book I finished or the skill I learned.
201
Exactly.
202
Or the conversations you had,
203
the people you helped, the memories you created.
204
Those are the treasures that stay.
205
It's true.
206
Some of my happiest memories are really simple.
207
Playing guitar with a friend,
208
cooking dinner with my mum,
209
or just taking a long walk.
210
Yes.
211
What matters most is often not complicated.
212
It's the things that connect us to ourselves and to others.
213
But Emma, sometimes I feel pressure.
214
Everyone says, do something big, be successful, make money.
215
How do I know if what matters to me is enough?
216
Ah, that's a deep question.
217
I believe what matters is deeply personal.
218
For one person it may be building a business.
219
For another, it's raising children with love.
220
For another, it's creating art.
221
What matters is not how the world measures it,
222
but how your heart feels it.
223
So meaning isn't always loud.
224
Sometimes it's quiet.
225
Exactly.
226
And here's something I ask myself.
227
Does this give me life,
228
or does it drain me?
229
If it gives me life,
230
even if it's small, then it matters.
231
I see.
232
That means even something like practising English for 20 minutes matters,
233
because it connects me to my future self.
234
Yes, perfectly said.
235
Every small act that builds love,
236
growth or connection has value.
237
You know, this makes me want to make a little list of what truly matters to me right now,
238
just to keep it clear.
239
That's a wonderful idea.
240
And to our listeners, maybe you can do the same.
241
Write down three things that matter most to you this season.
242
Then ask yourself, am I giving them my best hours?
243
That's a little scary, but also exciting.
244
It is.
245
Because when you choose what truly matters,
246
you don't just save time.
247
You create a life worth remembering.
248
Daniel, we've spoken about time,
249
youth, distractions, and choosing what matters.
250
Now comes the final piece.
251
How to live with both urgency and joy.
252
Urgency and joy?
253
Those sound almost opposite it.
254
Urgency feels like pressure, and joy feels like freedom.
255
That's true.
256
But when they come together,
257
they create a powerful way to live.
258
Urgency means remembering life is short.
259
Joy means celebrating life as a gift.
260
I see.
261
So urgency wakes us up,
262
and joy keeps us alive while we're awake.
263
Exactly.
264
Without urgency, we waste time.
265
Without joy, we suffer through it.
266
But with both, every day becomes precious.
267
That makes me think of my grandfather.
268
He always told me, don't wait too long to live.
269
Tomorrow is never promised.
270
Wise words.
271
And yet many of us live as if tomorrow is guaranteed.
272
We say, I'll call my friend later.
273
I'll start my dream next year.
274
But life doesn't always wait.
275
That's true.
276
I lost a friend last year.
277
And I remember thinking I should have spent more time with him when I had the chance.
278
I'm sorry, Daniel.
279
That's a painful reminder.
280
But it also shows us why urgency matters.
281
not to scare us, but to remind us to love and act today.
282
And joy.
283
How do we bring that in?
284
Joy comes when we notice the simple gifts of the present moment.
285
Drinking tea, hearing laughter, learning something new, walking in the sun.
286
These moments, when lived fully,
287
make urgency gentle, not heavy.
288
So, urgency tells me, don't waste this moment.
289
And joy tells me, enjoy this moment.
290
Yes.
291
Together they make life meaningful and beautiful.
292
You know, Emma, I think I've often lived with neither.
293
Sometimes I waste time without urgency.
294
Other times I work hard without joy.
295
But now, I want both.
296
And that's the invitation for all of us.
297
To live as if time is precious,
298
and to love as if every moment is a gift.
299
That makes me feel grateful right now,
300
just sitting here, having this conversation.
301
Me too, Daniel.
302
And to our listeners, maybe you can ask,
303
what is one way I can live today with urgency and joy?
304
I'll start by calling my mom tonight.
305
That feels both urgent and joyful.
306
That's perfect.
307
And I think she'll be very happy.
308
As we close, let's take a moment together.
309
Time is passing.
310
Youth is not forever.
311
Distractions are always near.
312
But you have the power to choose.
313
You can give your hours to what matters.
314
And when we do, we don't just fill time.
315
We live it fully, urgently, and joyfully.
316
Yes.
317
So, dear friends, maybe tonight or tomorrow morning,
318
pause and ask yourself, am I living the life I want to remember?
319
Thank you, Emma.
320
And thank you, listeners.
321
Let's not waste our time.
322
We're not young forever.
323
Take care of your moments,
324
and they will take care of you.
325
We'll see you next time here on The Cozy English.
326
Bye everyone.
327
And don't forget to live today.
