"Para de pasear la burra y ponte a trabajar. → He's spent the whole morning doing nothing and hasn't accomplished a thing."
"Stop killing time and get to work."

Afán
Prisa, urgencia por hacer algo rápido. En Colombia es la palabra estándar para decir que llevas prisa, y "yo afán no tengo" es la frase perfecta para frenar a alguien que te apura.
