"Take up (one's) time" = Chiếm hết cả thời gian của ai, tốn thời gian của ai.
Ví dụ
I do this before checking my emails as I often find they take up my time without being productive on what needs to be done that day.
"They take up your time, you have to stop and answer the phone to make sure it's not another customer, while you're waiting on customers.".
I eventually saw a doctor who diagnosed (chẩn đoán) me on the spot. I was prescribed anti-depressants (thuốc chống trầm cảm) and put on the waiting list to see a psychiatrist (bác sĩ tâm thần học). I was in and out within an hour and left back to my own devices. I tried the tablets for a week or so but they didn’t really work for me, I needed something that would occupy my thoughts, something that would take up my time and stop me from thinking negatively. That’s when I picked up a camera.
