This worksheet is based on TED talk “How to gain control of your free time” by Laura Vanderkam, an author of several time management and productivity books. During the lesson, students will learn the most challenging vocabulary from the video through a word-building exercise, as well as learn idioms related to time. There are also three speaking activities – one focused on using idioms, one for considering the impact of the so-called time thieves and a general discussion points for the video.
This lesson is labeled as a Business English one as it focuses on work time but you can easily adapt it to use it with young adults as it is not packed with business language so much.
My best approach for this lesson was to go through the warm-up and vocabulary sections and then watch the TED talk with students and follow with the discussion tasks.

I think the question mark in the title is extra, no?
Yes, you’re right, we’ve just deleted it.
nice class, but the video is a bit long, so keep it in mind if students get impatient
True, it’s one of the older lessons here and now we don’t use such long videos in in-class tasks anymore.
