It's a pity that I did nothing worth talking about today.
I am so disappointed that I wasted the whole of today
I did absolutely nothing today because I didn't plan my day beforehand.
If someone did nothing worth talking about on a particular day, it means that he/she did not have a plan for the day and time went by doing absolutely nothing. It can be very disappointing, that is, a situation that completely fails to fulfil someone's hopes. W asting the whole day can be the result of lack of planning, lack of time management. A person needs to plan his/her day beforehand, that is, well in advance.This is called time management. One needs to allocate tasks to be performed on a particular day well in advance otherwise the whole day will be wasted with no achievement.
So, if you didn't plan your day and ended up doing nothing, you may say:
It's a pity that I did nothing worth talking about today.
or
I am so disappointed that I wasted the whole of today.
or
I did absolutely nothing today because I didn't plan my day beforehand.
I did nothing worth talking about today'(今日は特に何もしなかった)は、「今日は特に予定もなく何もしなかった」という意味です。
こんな日の後には気分が落ち込むことがありますね。
一日を無駄に過ごしてしまうときには、計画性や 'time management' に問題があることがあります。一日の計画は前もって立てておく必要があります、これを 'time management'(時間管理)といいます。その日にすることを前もって考えておかないと、一日何もせずに終わってしまいます。
もし計画を立てず何もしないまま一日が終わってしまったなら、次のように言えます。
It's a pity that I did nothing worth talking about today.
(今日は特に何もせず一日が終わってしまって残念だ)
I am so disappointed that I wasted the whole of today.
(今日一日無駄にしてしまって、落胆しています)
I did absolutely nothing today because I didn't plan my day beforehand.
(今日は前もって予定を立てていなかったので、何もできませんでした)
"I didn't do much work today!"
Certain things that we do or don't do can be measured with an uncountable, "work" is an uncountable noun. This is a way of explaining that you had a whole day at work and you did not get a lot of work done.
"I hardly did anything today!"
"Hardly" is an adverb that also describes that you did very little work.
"I worked all day and got nothing done!"
When this happens it feels that we wasted an entire day at work because we did do what we set out.
"I didn't do much work today!"(今日はあまり仕事をしませんでした)
- 漠然と仕事を表すときには不可算名詞が使えます。"work" は不可算名詞です。ここでは、一日職場にいたけど大した仕事をしなかったと伝えています。
"I hardly did anything today!"(今日はほとんど何もしなかった)
- "hardly" はほとんど何もしなかったことを表す副詞です。
"I worked all day and got nothing done!"(一日中働いて何も終わらなかった)
- このような状況が起こると、予定していたことができなかったわけなので、一日を無駄にしたと感じられます。
Sometimes you have a day where you don't do much but you should really get things done so you might feel bad you haven't done them (you are said to regret them) you might then say 'I wish I had'
しなければならないことがあったのに何もしないまま一日が終わってしまったということはありますね。そんなときは、それを後悔(regret)して、'I wish I had'(~すればよかった)などと言うかもしれません。
Inefficient: time wasting, not much done
unproductive: inefficient
Demanding: wanting a lot of you, hard, exhaustive
Procrastinate: putting things off for another time, not attending what needs to be done.
Chronic: constantly on repeat, always occurring
Habit: something you do often (routine or habit) most times without even realizing it.
We all have these days.
Life here on this planet can be very demanding and we need to switch off by having a day that is full of more relaxation than work or anything other serious things.
Other days we feel fine but we are lazy to get things done, we procrastinate when we know we have important things to do, procrastination can easily become a chronic habit.

If you end the day realizing you have not done much and want to express this, you may say something like "I didn't do anything productive today." or "The day was over before I knew it and I didn't get anything done.".
