If you want to say that someone does not waste time, they get things done very quickly.

You can say they work very efficiently or they are so efficient at their work.

It's seen as a very positive thing to call someone efficient or a process in your work as efficient.

It means that there's no waste and there's no wasted time.

If you are doing something at work that's either wasting money or it's wasting time or it's way too much effort for the product at the end, you can say this work is inefficient or it is not efficient to do it this way.

One thing in English and in the United States we talk about all the time is being productive.

If you are productive, it means you are getting things done and you are getting important work done if you're productive.

So if you are scrolling on your phone, you are not being productive.

You're not really learning much.

You're not getting anything done.

If you make a to-do list and at the end of the day, everything is crossed off to-do list, you could say today was a very productive day.

Instead of saying busy, productive is seen as a very positive thing because it means you're getting important work done.

If we want to say that someone is practical.

It can be seen as a positive thing.

It means, you know, they make decisions in life based on what they think will actually work, what most people think would work.

They do research on everything.

They don't come up with these grandiose plans, these big things that might happen, but it would be a lot of work or it would be a lot of luck involved in happening.

So someone just very practical, makes practical decisions every day.

They do a lot of research and they don't just...

jump all over the place.
