How to use «Time-consuming» in context?
Keeping track of time is one of the most time-consuming tasks we face on a daily basis. But it’s also one of the most important, as the time we spend on tasks determines our productivity. Here are a few tips to make time management a little easier.
1. Set simple, yet achievable, goals
Rather than setting impossible goals, break your task down into smaller goals. This will make them feel more manageable and give you a better sense of how close you are to completing them.

For ‘time-consuming’, I tried http://thesaurus.com/browse/time-consuming.
For ‘less time-consuming’, I tried researching synonyms for ‘productive’ (http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/productive).
But none of the above results pertain to time.
Example of ‘(less) time-consuming’ upon request:
As Googling each bus route (e.g. in Hong Kong, London) is too time-consuming, what are some less time-consuming methods to see all the bus routes on the same map?

More Time-Consuming
I can perhaps offer a few alternatives, in this order:
- Protracted = drawn out considerably, particularly in time.
- Exhaustive = comprehensive or thorough, but draining.
- Laborious ~ (As above — @Preetie Sekhon)
Less Time-Consuming
Again, in this order:
- Transient = brief, not lasting very long at all.
- Ephemeral = lasting a very short time, very brief, transitory.
- Brief = very fast, short-lived.
Caution
Be careful with ephemeral in particular, because almost no one typically knows what that means. It is a very uncommon word.

The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like «longing for a time in the past», then the engine will return «nostalgia». The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it’s starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a «search engine for words», or a sentence to word converter.
I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren’t included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).
In case you didn’t notice, you can click on words in the search results and you’ll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.
