To pull an all-nighter
ENG: stay awake throughout the night, usually when working or studying.
RUS: работать или учиться всю ночь.
I found myself pulling all-nighters and isolating myself from my family and friends in order to get it all done, because I felt this immense pressure to continue providing for others. I felt obligated to devote all my time and energy to teaching because my students deserved it.
Let’s say we need to get something done very quickly. We are pressed for time, so we do as much as possible to achieve the task. Here is what we need to consider doing:
Put the pedal to the metal – to do something with maximum speed and effort
What day of the work week do you get the most work done? I personally put the pedal to the metal on Tuesdays.
Burn the midnight oil - staying up very late in order to study or do some other work.
Jill has been burning the midnight oil lately; I guess she has a big exam coming up.
Buckle down - to start working hard
He’ll have to buckle down to his work soon if he wants to pass his finals.
I think we can win if we just buckle down.
Knuckle down - to start working or studying hard.
You’re going to have to really knuckle down (to your work) if you want to pass your final exams.
On the contrary, if we are in something for the long haul and time is not an issue, all we can do is to fling ourselves into it and :
Slog away - to work very hard for a long time
I’ve been slogging away at this for hours and I’m exhausted.
Plug away - to work hard and in a determined way, especially at something that you find difficult
Katie has been plugging away at her homework for hours.
Slave away - to work very hard at something
We slaved away all week at the report
Beaver away– work hard at something for a long time, especially something for a long time, especially something you are writing.
She has been beavering away at that essay for hours.
Keep/put your nose to the grindstone - to work very hard for a long time.
She kept her nose to the grindstone all year and got the exam results she wanted.
