而家 係 下晝 嘅 两 點 二十 六 分 。 ||afternoon|||||| It is 2:26 in the morning.

今個 禮拜 過 成 點樣 呀 ? ||over|to be|how| How was this week's service?

我 啦， 都 幾 忙 呀 。 |||quite|busy| I'm busy.

因為 呢 , 我 都 有 好多 呢個 廣東話 堂 呢， 要 教 。 ||||||||||need|teach It is because I have a lot of Cantonese lessons to teach.

所以 呢 , 雖然 唔 使 返學 。 ||although||| So, even though I don't have to go to school.

但係 呢 , 我 每 一日 都 有 好多 嘢 呢 要 處理 ,handle。 |||||||||||handle| But, I have a lot of things to handle every day.

有 好多 嘢 呢 都 要 處理 。 There are a lot of things that need to be handled.

咁 今日 想 同 大家 講 嘅 題目 ,topic, 或者 話題 。 |||||||topic|topic|| So, the topic I want to talk about today is procrastination.

係 關於 拖延 ,procrastinate, 拖延 。 |about|procrastination|procrastinate|procrastination It's about procrastination.

咁 如果 procrastination, 廣東話 我哋 可以 叫做 拖延 症，拖延 症 。 ||||||called|procrastination|syndrome|procrastination| So if we say procrastination in Cantonese, we can call it procrastination syndrome.

咁 你 又 冇 呢 一個 拖延 嘅 問題 呢 ? Do you have any procrastination problem?

咁 做 嘢 呢 , 如果 個人 好 鍾意 拖 得 就 拖 。 ||||||||drag|long|then|drag Then, if you want to delay, you can do so.

咁 其實 都 會 係 產生 好多 壓力 嘅 。 |||||generate||pressure| This will create a lot of pressure.

因為 呢啲 工作 不斷 咁 堆積 ,accumulate, 堆積 。 ||work|constantly||accumulate|accumulate|accumulate

咁 就 會 越嚟越 多 未 處理 嘅 事情 。 |then|will|more and more|more|not|handling||things Then, there will be more and more things that are not handled.

嘩！跟住 呢 , 心 裏面 就 會 覺得 , 有 好多 嘢 未 處理 嘅 時候 呢 , |next||mind|inside||||||||||| Wow! Then, inside my heart, I will feel that there are many things that are not handled.

就 會 覺得 好煩 呀 , 或者 好大 壓力 喇 。 |||so烦||||pressure| I will feel very annoyed, or there will be a lot of pressure.

所以 呢 , 真係 要 學習 喇， 拒絕 reject, 拒絕 拖延，拒絕 拖延 。 ||||||reject|reject|reject|procrastination||delay

咁 有 乜嘢 辦法 去 對付 呢 個 拖延 嘅 問題 呢 ? |||method||deal with|||procrastination||| So, what are the ways to deal with this procrastination issue?

要 對付 拖延 嘅 問題 ,to tackle the problem of procrastination。 |deal with|procrastination||||tackle||problem|| To tackle the problem of procrastination.

我 覺得 呢 , 就 需要 幫 自己 設定 一個 時間 。 ||||need|||set|| I think we need to set a time for ourselves.

設定 係 去 set, 去 set 一個 時間 , 去 設定 一個 時間 。 |||||||||setting||

譬如 你 見到 一個 工作 你 要 處理 , 咁 你 就 同 自己 講 , For example, when you see a task that you need to handle, you tell yourself,

ok, 呢 一個 工作 呢 , 應該 十五 分鐘 我 可以 搞 得 定 嘅 。 ok, this task, I should be able to complete it in fifteen minutes.

或者 另 一個 工作 , 咁 你 自己 去 計算 下， 計算 ，you count 。 |||job|||||calculate||calculate||count Or for another task, you calculate it yourself, calculate, you count.

你 計算 下 , 大概 可能 半個 鐘 ,三十 分鐘 就 可以 處理 咗 去 。 |calculate||||half an||||||||

咁 呢，就 set 一個 時間 , 就 喺 嗰 個 時間 之內 就 去 搞定 嗰 件 事 。 |||||||||||within|||get done||thing|

因為 呢 , 如果 你 將 嗰 件 事 擺 喺度 唔理 佢 , ||||put||||put||ignore it| Because, if you leave it there and don't pay any attention to it, it's not a good idea.

跟住 第二 件 事 又 黎 喎 。 |||||come| Follow up on the second thing.

嘩，跟住 呢， 越 積 越 多 樣 嘢 , 咁 就 真係 好 難 搞定 啊 。 wow|next||the more|accumulate|||things|things||||||get it done| Wow, the more samples we accumulate, the more difficult it is to deal with them.

譬如 啦， 我 每 一日 都 同 唔 同 嘅 學生 上堂 。 |||||||||||attend class For example, I go to class with different students every day.

咁 我 每 一次 上 完堂 呢, 其實 我 都 有 好多 嘢 要 處理 咖 喎 。 |||||||||||||||you know| Every time I finish a class, I actually have a lot of things to do.

因為 呢， 我 會 將 嗰 一 堂 , 一啲 嘅 重點 , 同埋 一啲 嘅 詞彙 , ||||||||||key points||||vocabulary Because of this, I will put the same emphasis on that one church, with the same vocabulary.

咁 我 要 錄音 , 跟 住 send 返 俾 我 嘅 學生 。 |||record|||||||| Then I have to record and follow the students who send me back.

咁 當 一日 有成 四 堂 咁樣 , 咁 我 都 自己 都 要 做 好多 呢啲 功課 。 |||achieve success|||||||||||||homework When there are four classes in a day, I have to do a lot of homework on my own.

咁 我 如果 去 累積 一日 唔 去 處理 , 兩 日 唔 去 處理 呢 , ||||accumulate|||||||||| If I don't go to the accumulator for one day and don't go to the accumulator for two days, then I can't go to the accumulator for two days and don't go to the accumulator for two days.

嘩, 要 我 處理 返 嘅 話 呢 , 就 真係 會 好 大 壓力 。 |||||||||||||pressure Wow, it would be really stressful for me to deal with it.

所以 呢 , 我 而家 嘅 方法 呢 , 就係 盡量 一 上 完 堂 , |||||method|||as much as possible|||finish|class So, the way I do it is to finish the class as soon as possible.

譬如 抽 一個 時間 , 我 二十 分鐘 或者 三十 分鐘 之內 , |take|||||||||within For example, if I take a time out, within 20 minutes or 30 minutes.

要 搞定 嗰個 嘅 錄音 , 要 準備 好 嗰個 嘅 follow up, |get done|||record||prepare||||| To fix that one's recording, to prepare that one's follow up.

嗰個 跟進 follow up, 要 準備 好, 嗰個 跟進 , |follow up||||||| That follow up needs to be prepared well.

跟住 send 返 俾 我 嘅 學生 , 咁 就 處理 咗 一個 。 |||||||||handle it|| Then send it back to my students, and that will be one dealt with.

因為 呢, 下 一 堂 又 黎 㗎 喇 喎 , 咁 如果 我 又 唔 去 做 , ||||||come|||||||again||| Because, the next class is coming again, so if I don't go and do it again,

跟住 一日 裏面 就 會 有 好多 嘢 累積 要 去 處理 囉, 咁樣 。 ||||||||accumulate||||| There are so many things to be dealt with in a day's time, like this.

咁, 所以 呢 , 設定 一個 時間 , 即刻 去 處理 , 唔好 去 堆積 , 唔好 去 累積 。 |||set||||||||accumulate|||accumulate So, set a time to deal with it right away, not to accumulate, not to accumulate.

呢 一個 係 我 覺得 係 一個 key point, 關鍵 點 。 |||||||key|point|key| This one is what I think is a key point.

key point 係 一個 關鍵 點 嚟 嘅 。 key||||key point||| Key point is a critical point.

我 都 聽過 呢 , 有 一啲 好 識得 管理 時間 , 管理 manage。 ||||||||manage|||manage I have also heard that some people are very good at managing time and managing.

好 識得 管理 時間 。 ||manage| It's good to know how to manage time.

Some people, they are very good at time management。 ||they||||||management

嗰啲 人 俾 一啲 嘅 tips, 佢 直情 都 會 set 一個 計時器 timer, set 一個 timer, set 一個 計時器 。 |||||tips||just directly|||||timer|timer||||||timer

譬如 我 而家 開始 做 呢 件 事 , 我 就 教 我 嘅 timer, 教 個 計時器 。 |||||||||||||timer|set||timer For example, I'm starting to do this thing now, so I'm teaching my timer, teaching the stopwatch.

咁 就 十 分鐘 完成 , 或者 三十 分鐘 完成 , 一個 鐘頭 之內 完成 佢, 咁樣 。 ||||complete||||||hour|within||| Then it will be done in ten minutes, or maybe thirty minutes, finishing it within an hour, like that.

咁 啦, 就 會 發覺 , 一日 裏面 其實 係 可以 處理 到 好 多樣 嘅 嘢 㗎 喎 。 ||||discover|||||||||many kinds|||| Thus, you will find that actually, in a day, a lot of things can be handled.

係 呀, 咁, 呢個 方法 我 都 覺得 呢, 係 好 唔 錯 㗎。 ||||method|||||||not|wrong| Yes, well, I also think that this method is quite good.

咁 就 甚至 係 一啲 好少 嘅 事 , 譬如 家務, 咁樣。 ||even|||very few||||housework| Sometimes it can even be about very small matters, like household chores, for example.

噉, 譬如 嗰啲 碗碟 呀 , 如果 煮 完 嘢 嗰啲 碗碟 就 咁 擺 喺 個 sink 盤 嗰度 呢 , |for example||dishes|||||||||||||sink|sink|| For example, those dishes, if after cooking they are just placed in the sink basin,

跟住 唔 洗 呢 , 你 唔 即刻 去 處理 呢 , 越 堆 越 多 , 越嚟越 大 堆 碗碟 囉 喎 。 ||wash||you||immediately||handle it||more and more|pile up|more||more and more|big|pile up|dishes|you know|you know If you don't wash it, the more dishes are piled up, the bigger the pile of dishes will be.

Piles of bowls and dishes in the sink。 stack||bowls||dishes|||

跟住 你 就 唔想 去 搞 佢 。

設定 呢, 你 啦, set 好 , 我 大概 畀 自己 十五 分鐘 就 可以 清潔 咗 呢啲 碗碟 。 setting||||||||||||||clean up||| I can clean the dishes in about 15 minutes.

嘩, 咁樣 呢, 其實 用 十五 分鐘 呢, 就 可以 搞掂 個 廚房 乾淨 呀 。 ||||||||||get the kitchen||kitchen|clean|

咁 呢, 你 望 落去 啦 啲 嘢 企 你 乾淨 ,tidy and clean, 企 你 乾淨 。 ||you|look|look down||||keep|you|clean|tidy|and clean|clean|standing||stand clean Well, you look down and see that the things around you are tidy and clean, you feel clean.

咁 呢, 因為 個人 都 會 開心 啲 , 係 咪 情緒 ,咁 mood or emotion 都 會 好啲, 情緒 。都 會 好啲 㗎 喎。 ||||||||||emotion||||emotion||||emotion|||better|| Well, because a person will be happier, right? Mood or emotion will be better, emotions will be better.
