Hello and welcome to Hollow English.
2
We're so glad you're joining us to practice your listening skills today.
3
It's great to be here. Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast. I'm Ryan and I'm Emma. And okay, I have to say this first. Ryan is drinking coffee again.
4
Again? That sounds like a problem.
5
It is a problem. This is like your third cup today.
6
No, no, this is my second. The first one doesn't count.
7
Why doesn't it count?
8
Because I had it before I was fully awake. That's like pre coffee.
9
That makes no sense.
10
It makes perfect sense. You know when you wake up and you're not really a person yet?
11
Oh, I know that feeling. I call it zombie mode.
12
Exactly. So, that first coffee is just to turn me into a human.
13
Okay, fair enough. But this actually connects to today's topic, right?
14
Yeah, it kind of does. Today we're talking about time management in real life.
15
Mhm. Not the perfect Instagram version of time management.
16
Yeah. Not the wake up at 5:00 a.m., meditate, exercise, drink green juice kind of life.
17
Honestly, every time I see those videos, I feel tired just watching them.
18
Same. I'm like, you woke up at 5:00 a.m.
19
for fun, right? I wake up at 5:00 a.m. only if something is wrong.
20
Exactly. So, yeah. Today we want to talk about real time management. Like how normal people deal with time with jobs, stress, distractions, and sometimes just being lazy.
21
Hey, don't attack me like that.
22
I'm not saying you're lazy.
23
You're thinking it, though.
24
I mean, sometimes.
25
Okay. Wow, great start. But seriously, I think this topic is really important, especially for English learners because managing your time is already hard and then you add studying a language on top of that.
26
Yeah, it becomes even harder like where do you even find the time?
27
Exactly. So maybe we can start with something simple. Ryan, how would you describe your time management style?
28
H chaotic.
29
That was very honest. Yeah, I wish I could say I'm super organized, but I'm not. I try, but I'm more of a lastminut person.
30
Ah, okay. Last minute is a useful phrase, by the way.
31
Yeah, good point. Last minute means you do something very close to the deadline.
32
So, like if your assignment is due tomorrow and you start it tonight, that's last minute.
33
Or if your train leaves in 5 minutes and you're still at home, that's stressful.
34
That's my life sometimes. Wow. Okay. I'm actually the opposite.
35
Really? Yeah. I get anxious if I don't plan things ahead.
36
Oh, you're one of those people.
37
What do you mean one of those people?
38
The people with planners, calendars, color codes.
39
Hey, don't judge me. My color-coded calendar is beautiful.
40
I'm not judging. I'm impressed. I tried using a planner once.
41
What happened?
42
I forgot to check it.
43
That defeats the whole purpose.
44
Exactly. A purpose, by the way, is like the reason you do something.
45
Good explanation. And yeah, if you don't check your planner, it's useless.
46
Yeah, it just became a notebook with random notes.
47
Okay, but this is interesting. We have two very different styles. You're more spontaneous.
48
That means doing things without planning too much, right? And I'm more structured.
49
Structured meaning organized, planned with a system.
50
Exactly. So maybe we can talk about what actually works in real life, not just in theory.
51
Yeah. Because I think a lot of advice online sounds good, but doesn't work.
52
Totally. Like just wake up earlier.
53
I hate that advice.
54
Same. It sounds simple, but it's not easy.
55
Yeah, because if you sleep late, waking up early just makes you tired.
56
Exactly. So instead of giving perfect advice, maybe we can share real experiences.
57
Okay, I'll start with a story.
58
Oh, I'm ready.
59
So last week I had a bunch of things to do. Work stuff, emails, recording this podcast.
60
Important things.
61
Very important. And I told myself, "Okay, I'll start early. I'll be productive." That sounds promising.
62
Yeah. So I woke up, checked my phone.
63
Uh-oh. Yeah. Big mistake.
64
Always. I opened social media just for a minute.
65
Famous last words.
66
Exactly. Famous last words is a funny expression.
67
Yeah. It means something you say before something goes wrong.
68
Right. So I said just 1 minute and then suddenly it was 1 hour later.
69
That happens to me too. You lose track of time.
70
Yeah. Lose track of time means you don't realize how much time has passed. It's like time disappears.
71
Exactly. And then I felt guilty.
72
Yeah. That feeling is the worst.
73
So I tried to work but I was already distracted.
74
So your whole plan kind of fell apart.
75
Yeah. Fell apart means it stopped working completely.
76
And that's very real. I think a lot of people experience that.
77
Yeah. So for me the biggest problem is distractions.
78
Same. But my problem is different. How so?
79
I plan too much.
80
Wait, that's a problem?
81
Yes, I make these perfect schedules like nine study, 10 work, 11 exercise.
82
That sounds amazing.
83
It sounds amazing, but real life doesn't follow the schedule.
84
Ah, I see.
85
Something always changes. Maybe I feel tired or something unexpected happens.
86
Unexpected means something you didn't plan, right? And then I feel frustrated because I didn't follow my plan.
87
So you're too strict with yourself.
88
Exactly. That's the problem.
89
Interesting. So we both have problems, just different ones.
90
Yeah. You don't plan enough and I plan too much.
91
We need to meet in the middle.
92
Exactly. That's a great phrase, meet in the middle.
93
It means to find a balance, right? Not too extreme on one side. So maybe good time management is not about being perfect, but about being flexible.
94
Yes, flexible is a key word.
95
Flexible means you can change your plans when needed.
96
Yeah, like if something unexpected happens, you don't panic.
97
You just adjust.
98
Okay, that sounds good in theory, but how do we actually do that?
99
H, good question.
100
Let's think about it. Maybe we can talk about small habits. Yeah, habits are important.
101
A habit is something you do regularly almost automatically like brushing your teeth or checking your phone every 5 minutes.
102
That's a bad habit.
103
Very bad. And I have that habit.
104
Same. I think everyone does.
105
So maybe instead of trying to control your whole day, you focus on small habits.
106
Yeah. like one habit at a time.
107
That makes it less overwhelming.
108
Overwhelming means something feels too big or too difficult.
109
Like you don't know where to start.
110
Exactly. And time management often feels overwhelming because there's so much to do.
111
Yeah. And only 24 hours in a day, which is never enough.
112
Never. Okay. Let me share something I tried recently.
113
Go for it. So instead of planning my whole day, I started planning just three tasks.
114
Only three?
115
Yes. Just three important things.
116
That sounds too easy.
117
That's what I thought. But it actually works.
118
Why? Because it's realistic. I can actually finish three things.
119
Yeah, that makes sense.
120
And when I finish them, I feel good.
121
That feeling is important.
122
Very important. It gives you motivation.
123
Motivation means the energy or reason to do something, right? And when you feel motivated, you want to do more.
124
So instead of feeling like a failure, you feel successful.
125
I like that. Maybe I should try that.
126
You should.
127
But knowing me, I'll write three tasks then do something else.
128
Okay, then you need a different strategy.
129
Yeah, probably.
130
Maybe something more immediate. What do you mean?
131
Like a timer.
132
Oh, like the pomodoro technique.
133
Yes, exactly.
134
That's a big word. Technique.
135
Yeah. It just means a method or way of doing something.
136
So, the Pomodoro technique is when you work for a short time, usually 25 minutes, and then take a break, like 5 minutes.
137
I've tried that before.
138
Did it work? Sometimes, but sometimes I ignore the timer.
139
Of course you do.
140
Hey, I'm being honest.
141
I appreciate that.
142
But when I actually follow it, it helps me focus.
143
Yeah, because it feels short. Like I can do 25 minutes.
144
Exactly. It doesn't feel scary.
145
That's important. If something feels too big, we avoid it. Avoid means you try not to do something like homework or exercise.
146
Hey, sorry. Sorry.
147
But yeah, it's true.
148
So maybe time management is also about psychology.
149
Oh, definitely.
150
Understanding how your brain works and not fighting it too much.
151
Yeah. Instead of saying I must be perfect, you say what actually works for me.
152
That's a really good question. And the answer is different for everyone.
153
Exactly. There's no one perfect system, which is kind of good news.
154
Yeah. It means you can experiment.
155
Experiment means you try different things to see what works.
156
Like a scientist.
157
Exactly.
158
Okay. I like this idea. I'm a time management scientist now.
159
That sounds official.
160
Very official.
161
All right. Before we continue, maybe we can do a quick language highlight.
162
Yeah, good idea.
163
Okay, so today we already used some useful expressions.
164
Let's pick a few.
165
Okay, first lose track of time.
166
That's when you don't notice how much time has passed.
167
Example, I was watching videos and I lost track of time.
168
Happens every day.
169
Second, last minute.
170
Doing something very close to the deadline. like Ryan's lifestyle.
171
Hey, sorry.
172
It's true though.
173
And third, meet in the middle.
174
Find a balance between two different ideas, like our time management styles.
175
Exactly.
176
Okay, that was our mini language moment.
177
Very many.
178
We'll do more later.
179
All right. So, where were we?
180
We were talking about experimenting with different methods, right? So, maybe I'll try your three tasks idea.
181
And I'll try being less strict with my schedule.
182
That's already meeting in the middle.
183
Exactly.
184
But I have a question.
185
Hm. What about days when you just don't feel like doing anything?
186
Oh, those days.
187
Yeah, I have those a lot.
188
Same. And honestly, I think that's normal.
189
Really? Yeah. We're not robots.
190
That's true.
191
Some days you have energy. Some days you don't.
192
So what do you do on those days?
193
I lower my expectations.
194
That sounds like wise.
195
It just means I don't expect too much from myself.
196
So instead of three tasks, maybe just one.
197
That's actually a good idea because doing one thing is better than doing nothing.
198
Yeah, that makes sense.
199
And it keeps the habit alive. Keep something alive means you continue it, right? You don't stop completely.
200
I like that. It feels more realistic.
201
Exactly. Real life is not perfect.
202
And time management shouldn't be perfect either.
203
Yes. Okay. I think that's a good place to pause for now.
204
Yeah. In the next part, we can talk about procrastination.
205
Oh, no. I know. I know.
206
That's my biggest weakness. Perfect.
207
Then you'll have a lot to say unfortunately. Yes.
208
All right. We'll see you in next podcast.
