Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel, where learning English is easy and fun.
2
I'm Emily.
3
Hello Emily.
4
It is so wonderful to be here with you and all our listeners today.
5
I am feeling very energized and ready to talk.
6
I can see that, Paul.
7
You have a big smile on your face.
8
Did you have a good morning?
9
I did, actually.
10
I woke up early, I exercised, and I even had time to read a little bit of my book.
11
Wow, that sounds like a very productive morning.
12
You are the perfect person for our topic today.
13
Well, it's not always like this, Emily.
14
Believe me, I have many days where I feel like I am running but never arriving.
15
I think everyone feels like that sometimes.
16
Today, we are going to talk about time management in our real lives.
17
That is such a useful topic.
18
We all have the same 24 hours, but sometimes it feels like some people have 48.
19
It really does.
20
And you know, Paul, I have a special little secret about time.
21
It's a very small trick that changed how I start my day.
22
A secret?
23
Oh, I love secrets.
24
Can you tell me now?
25
I'm very curious.
26
Not yet.
27
I want to share it at the end of the episode.
28
It's a nice surprise for our listeners who stay with us.
29
Ah, okay.
30
I will wait.
31
You are very good at keeping me interested, Emily.
32
I try.
33
So, Paul, tell me about your morning.
34
You said you woke up early.
35
What time?
36
My alarm clock went off at 6 o'clock.
37
Usually, I hit the snooze button five times, but today, I just stood up.
38
6 o'clock.
39
That is very early for me.
40
I usually wake up at 7.30.
41
7.30 is a good time too.
42
But if I wake up at 6, I feel like I own the day.
43
I have time for myself before work starts.
44
That's a great way to put it.
45
Owning the day.
46
When I wake up late, I feel like the day owns me.
47
Exactly.
48
I am just reacting to things.
49
My phone rings, I check emails, and suddenly it is noon.
50
That is the big problem, isn't it?
51
The phone.
52
It is a huge time thief.
53
A time thief.
54
What a great expression.
55
It really does steal our minutes and hours.
56
I notice that if I check social media in the morning, I lose 20 minutes immediately.
57
It feels like two minutes, but the clock says 20.
58
I know that feeling so well.
59
You look at one video of a cat, and then suddenly you are watching a video about how to build a house in the woods.
60
Yes, it's a trap.
61
So how do you manage your time when you have a very busy day at work?
62
I started using a very simple list, just a piece of paper and a pen.
63
I write down the three most important things for the day.
64
Only three?
65
That doesn't seem like a lot.
66
I usually have a list of 20 things.
67
That's the problem, Emily.
68
When the list is too long, it's scary.
69
We look at it and feel stressed, so we don't do anything.
70
Hmm, you're right.
71
I often look at my long list and decide to go get another coffee instead of working.
72
Exactly.
73
But with three things, I can focus.
74
I say to myself, Paul, if you do these three things, the day is a success.
75
I like that.
76
It's about quality, not quantity.
77
What happens if you finish the three things early?
78
Then I can do more.
79
But the pressure is gone.
80
It makes me feel much more relaxed and confident.
81
That is a very smart strategy.
82
I think I will try that tomorrow.
83
My list is usually a mess of small things and big things.
84
You should try it.
85
And I also try to do the hardest thing first.
86
Do you know the expression, eat the frog?
87
Eat the frog?
88
No. That sounds terrible.
89
Why would I want to eat a frog?
90
It just means doing the most difficult or unpleasant task first thing in the morning.
91
Ah, I understand.
92
Because if you do the hard thing first, everything after that feels easy.
93
Yes, exactly.
94
If I have to write a difficult report, I do it at 8am.
95
If I wait until 4pm, I worry about it all day.
96
That's so true.
97
The worry takes up more time and energy than the actual work.
98
It really does.
99
It's like a heavy backpack you carry all day.
100
Just put it down early.
101
You are full of great ideas today, Paul.
102
I'm feeling very motivated to organize my schedule.
103
I'm glad.
104
But wait, Emily.
105
I have to ask.
106
How do you handle distractions at home, since we both work from home sometimes?
107
Oh, it's very difficult.
108
The laundry is there, the kitchen needs cleaning, and my cat wants to play.
109
The cat is the boss of the house, I'm sure.
110
He definitely is.
111
I have to set a timer.
112
I tell myself I will work for 25 minutes and then I can play with the cat for 5 minutes.
113
Oh, I heard about that.
114
Is it called the Pomodoro technique, like the tomato?
115
Yes.
116
Pomodoro means tomato in Italian.
117
It's because the inventor used a kitchen timer that looked like a tomato.
118
That's so funny.
119
I use my phone timer, but maybe I should buy a tomato timer.
120
It sounds more fun.
121
It is fun.
122
Those 25 minutes are very focused because I know a break is coming soon.
123
I think the break is the most important part.
124
Our brains get tired if we work for three hours without stopping.
125
Definitely.
126
When I don't take breaks, I start making mistakes.
127
Simple mistakes like spelling words wrong or forgetting an attachment in an email.
128
I do that too.
129
Or I read the same sentence five times and I don't understand it.
130
That's a sign.
131
Your brain is saying, Emily, please go look at a tree for five minutes.
132
Looking at a tree is much better than looking at a screen.
133
Speaking of screens, if you are enjoying this conversation and finding these tips helpful, Don't forget to like the video and subscribe to the channel.
134
Yes, and share it with a friend who is always late or always busy.
135
It helps us a lot when you support the Mr. English channel.
136
And we have a little challenge for you today.
137
If you are still listening, please comment the word clock in the comments below.
138
Clock.
139
I like that.
140
It shows us you are practicing your English and focusing on our talk.
141
It really does.
142
So Paul, let's talk about something else.
143
What about no?
144
Is it hard for you to say no to people?
145
Oh, Emily, it is the hardest thing for me.
146
I want to help everyone.
147
I want to say yes to every meeting and every coffee.
148
I am the same way.
149
But when we say yes to everyone else, we are saying no to our own time.
150
Wow, that's deep.
151
I never thought about it like that.
152
It's true.
153
If a friend asks me to help them move furniture on a Tuesday when I have a big project, I should say no. But it feels rude, doesn't it?
154
You want to be a good friend.
155
It does feel a bit bad at first.
156
But a real friend will understand.
157
I can say, I can't help on Tuesday, but I can help on Saturday.
158
That's a good compromise.
159
You're still being a friend, but you are protecting your work time.
160
Exactly.
161
My Tuesday Emily needs to work so that my Saturday Emily can be relaxed and helpful.
162
Tuesday Emily and Saturday Emily.
163
You are like two different people.
164
Sometimes it feels like it.
165
time management is really just managing ourselves, isn't it?
166
It is.
167
The time doesn't change.
168
We change how we act within the time.
169
So let's think about the evening.
170
How do you prepare for the next day?
171
Does that help you save time?
172
It helps so much.
173
Every night I spend 10 minutes preparing.
174
I choose my clothes for the next day.
175
That's a classic tip.
176
It saves that what-should-I-wear stress in the morning.
177
Yes, and I put my house keys and my wallet in the same place every single night.
178
Oh, that is a big one.
179
I used to lose my keys every morning.
180
I would spend 10 minutes looking under the sofa or in my coat pockets.
181
It's so frustrating.
182
You are ready to go, you're on time, and then no keys.
183
And then you're late, you're angry, and the whole day starts badly.
184
Exactly.
185
Now I have a small bowl near the door.
186
The keys go in the bowl.
187
Always.
188
A home for the keys.
189
I love that.
190
I started doing that with my umbrella, too.
191
Now I never forget it when it rains.
192
That's very smart, especially where we live because the weather changes so fast.
193
It really does.
194
So we have talked about lists, the eat the frog rule, the pomodoro technique, and say no. We have covered a lot.
195
I feel like a time management expert now.
196
But we're not perfect.
197
Sometimes things go wrong.
198
What do you do when your schedule breaks?
199
Like when a meeting runs long or there's a lot of traffic?
200
Yes, those unexpected things that destroy your plan for the day.
201
I try to stay calm.
202
I used to get very angry and stressed.
203
Now I have buffer time in my schedule.
204
Buffer time?
205
What is that?
206
It's like a cushion.
207
I don't schedule my meetings one after another.
208
I leave 15 minutes of empty time between them.
209
Oh, that's brilliant.
210
So if one meeting is 10 minutes late, you're still okay for the next one.
211
Exactly.
212
And if everything goes perfectly, I have 15 minutes to drink water or stretch my legs.
213
I need more buffer time in my life.
214
I always think things will take 10 minutes, but they always take 20.
215
We are all optimists, Emily.
216
We think we are faster than we really are.
217
It's true.
218
I think I can cook dinner in 15 minutes, but then I have to chop the onions, boil the water, and suddenly it is 45 minutes later.
219
Cooking is definitely a time-optimist trap.
220
It really is.
221
Paul, I have a story about my friend Maria.
222
Do you remember her?
223
The one who is getting married?
224
Of course.
225
The garden wedding.
226
How is the planning going?
227
Well, she was very stressed last week.
228
She had a thousand things to do for the wedding.
229
I can imagine.
230
Weddings are a lot of work.
231
She was trying to do everything at the same time.
232
She was calling the florist while she was looking at dresses online.
233
Oh no. Multitasking.
234
That is another time thief.
235
Yes.
236
I told her, Maria, stop.
237
You are doing two things badly instead of one thing well.
238
That is so true.
239
Research shows that our brains cannot actually do two things at once.
240
We just switch back and forth very fast.
241
And it's exhausting.
242
I told her to use your rule, the three important things.
243
Did it help her?
244
Yes.
245
She decided that for one day, she only cared about the cake, the music, and the invitations.
246
and the other 997 things
247
they waited until the next day she felt so much better she even had time to have dinner with me that's
248
a success story it shows that these tips work for big events and for daily life it really
249
does time management is about feeling in control not about being a robot I agree I still want
250
to have time to do nothing sometimes just sitting and thinking oh do nothing time is very important it's when our
251
best ideas come to us I find that my best ideas for the podcast come to me when I am walking in the park, not when I am staring at my computer screen.
252
Me too.
253
We need that empty space for our creativity to grow.
254
So, if you are busy, remember to schedule some nothing time too.
255
It's a gift to yourself.
256
That's a beautiful way to say it, Paul.
257
A gift of time.
258
Well, Emily, I think we are getting close to the end of our talk.
259
Time flies when we are talking about time.
260
It really does.
261
But wait, I haven't forgotten.
262
I promised a secret tip at the beginning.
263
Yes, I have been waiting for 30 minutes for this.
264
I am ready.
265
What is your secret trick?
266
Okay, here it is.
267
It's called the two-minute rule.
268
The two-minute rule?
269
Tell me more.
270
How does it work?
271
It's very simple.
272
If a task takes less than two minutes to do, you must do it immediately.
273
Don't put it on a list.
274
Don't think about it.
275
Just do it.
276
Less than two minutes, like washing a coffee cup?
277
Yes, or sending a very short email, or hanging up your coat, or putting a paper in the trash.
278
Hmm, I usually leave those small things for later.
279
I say, I'll do that this evening.
280
But then those small things grow.
281
Suddenly you have ten two-minute tasks, and that's 20 minutes of work.
282
It feels heavy.
283
I see.
284
But if I just do it now, it's gone.
285
My brain doesn't have to remember it.
286
Exactly.
287
It keeps your environment and your mind clear.
288
It's amazing how much it changes your day.
289
That is a fantastic tip, Emily.
290
Simple, fast, and very effective.
291
I am going to start using the two-minute rule right now.
292
Well, maybe after we finish the episode.
293
Right, right.
294
Finishing the episode is a 10-minute task, so I must stay focused.
295
Good job, Paul.
296
You are learning fast.
297
Thank you.
298
I really enjoyed this conversation today.
299
It made me think about my habits.
300
Me too.
301
It's always good to reflect on how we spend our lives, because our time is our life, really.
302
That's very true.
303
Every minute is a little piece of our story.
304
Well, everyone, we hope you enjoyed this episode about time management.
305
We hope these tips help you feel more relaxed and productive.
306
Yes.
307
Thank you for spending your valuable time with us today.
308
We appreciate it so much.
309

311
And please give this video a big like if you found Emily's two-minute rule or my eat-the-frog tip useful.
312
And tell us in the comments, what is your favorite way to save time?
313
Or what is your biggest time thief?
314
We love reading your stories.
315
It makes us feel like we're all learning together.
316
It really does.
317
Well, I have a two-minute task now.
318
I need to go put my coffee cup in the kitchen.
319
And I need to go look at a tree for five minutes.
320
Perfect.
321
Have a wonderful day, everyone.
322
See you in the next episode.
323
Goodbye.
324
Bye for now.

مكتبة فيديو غنية
لماذا ممارسة المحادثة مع هذا الفيديو؟
تتيح لك ممارسة المحادثة باستخدام هذا الفيديو فرصة فريدة للتفاعل مع محتوى مفيد وممتع. موضوع إدارة الوقت في الحياة اليومية هو موضوع يتناسب مع تجارب الجميع، مما يجعله سياقًا مثاليًا لتطوير مهاراتك في اللغة الإنجليزية. يمكنك الاستماع إلى المحادثات الطبيعية بين المتحدثين وتحسين نطقك وتطوير مفرداتك.
العناصر المفيدة للممارسة تشمل:
- الاستماع إلى نغمة الصوت وتعبيرات الوجه التي تعزز الفهم.
- تكرار الجمل والعبارات لتحسين طلاقتك ومهارات التحدث.
- استخدام تقنية shadowspeak، حيث تعيد تظليل الصوت لتقليد المتحدثين.
القواعد والتعبيرات في السياق
في الحوار، استخدم المتحدثون بعض القواعد والتعبيرات التي يمكن أن تساعدك في تحسين لغتك الإنجليزية:
- عبارة "I woke up early": تعبير بسيط ولكنه فعال لوصف بدء يومك.
- عبارة "I feel like I own the day": تعبير مجازي يعني أنك تتحكم في يومك وليس العكس.
- عبارة "But today, I just stood up": استخدام "just" هنا يضفي الإيجابية على الأداء.
- عبارة "I have time for myself before work starts": تشدد هذه العبارة على أهمية التنظيم الشخصي.
فخاخ النطق الشائعة
أثناء مشاهدتك للفيديو، قد تواجه بعض الكلمات أو العبارات التي قد تكون صعبة في النطق:
- "alarm clock": قد يكون من الصعب تمييز الصوتين "l" و"r" في هذه الكلمة.
- "productive": تأكد من التركيز على المقطع "duct" حيث قد يغفل المتعلمون اللفظ الصحيح.
- "snooze button": تأكد من نطق حرف "s" بشكل واضح لتجنب التشويش.
باستخدام طريقة التظليل في الإنجليزية، يمكنك تعزيز مهارات المحادثة الخاصة بك من خلال تكرار هذه التعبيرات والنطق الصحيح. تذكر أن الممارسة المستمرة هي المفتاح!
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
