S: So, let's say I want to restructure my day to get more work done. How would you approach it?
J: Well, the first thing I do is observe your routine. What's your normal day like?
S: Sure.
J: As a journalist you probably have deadlines.
S: Definitely.
J: You're probably under pressure. But looking at it another way, you may have a lot of freedom about where and how you work
and what time of day. You don't have the constraints of, say, the traditional office worker.
S: I never thought of that. But yes, it's true.
J: So you need to work quickly, but on the other hand you probably have great resources: people who can help you, contacts, archives. And these are the tools you use to accomplish the task.
S: Right.
J: OK, so then we'd look at your typical day, starting from the moment you sit down at your desk.What's the first thing you do? Probably, if you're like everybody else, you check your emails. Maybe you read the news, go on a couple of social media sites,
and respond to a few messages. But I'm looking at how long this takes you and how much time is spent off-task. I'm also looking at what you're looking at. Do you have a calendar? Do you use to-do lists, prioritised tasks that you need to finish at certain times of the day? Some people have lists next to their lists. They write down the names of contacts and other information which they'll
use in order to achieve the task.
S: That's a good idea.

Two friends meet after their vacations.

"So, how was your trip?"

"Great! No time for sunbathing—I spent the whole time running from my wife with the kid around the hotel so she wouldn’t find me."

Два друга встречаются после отпуска.
- Ну, как съездил?
- Отлично! Загорать некогда было, все время бегал от жены с ребёнком по отелю, чтобы они меня не нашли.

Endurance sports are becoming popular all over the world. They are different to normal sports because in endurance sports people want to test how fit and strong
they are. They aren’t easy to do. You have to have a lot of stamina to do an endurance sport. Typical endurance sports are swimming, cross-country skiing and cycling. Running is also popular because it is easy to train for competitions. Two famous endurance running events are the Marathon des Sables and The Vertical World Circuit. The Marathon des Sables isn’t only a marathon, it’s an ultra-marathon. The Marathon des Sables is in the Sahara Desert in Morocco. The run is around 250 kilometres. That’s almost six normal marathons! The temperature is around 30 degrees celsius and it can sometimes be above 50 degrees celsius! It usually takes six days to finish the marathon. Runners carry the things they need (usually
food) on their backs in a bag. They have a place to sleep and rest at the end of each day. The competition is open to people aged 16 and above, and about 1,200 people take part in this run every year.

S: John, you're a time management consultant. What exactly do you do?
J: Hello, Stephanie. I advise individuals and companies on how to maximise their time. It involves looking at the processes they use to accomplish tasks, looking at how deadlines are set and met, and examining people's working habits to see if there are any shortcuts or more efficient ways to do things.
S: Right, OK. So what type of companies do you work with?
J: All kinds. Really, everything from very traditional manufacturing firms to internet start-ups. Every company wastes time at some point and every company wants to save time. Having said that, I'd say some companies are more efficient than others.
