TED Talks, Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days

Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days

A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut, so I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days.

The idea is actually pretty simple. Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days. It turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit --like watching the news --from your life. There's a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.

The first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture everyday for a month. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day. I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew. I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work --for fun. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges. I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days.

Have you ever wanted to write a novel? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000 word novel from scratch in 30 days. It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you've written your words for the day. You might be sleep-deprived, but you'll finish your novel. Now is my book the next great American novel? No. I wrote it in a month. It's awful. But for the rest of my life, if I meet john Hodgman at a TED party, I don't have to say, "I'm a computer scientist. "No, no, if I want to I can say, "I'm a novelist. (Laughter)

So here's one last thing I'd like to mention.

I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing they were more likely to stick. There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. In fact, they're a ton of fun. But they're less likely to stick. When I gave up sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this. (Laughter)

So here's my question to you: What are you waiting for?

I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days. Thanks.

(Applause)

A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut, so I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great  American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days. 数年前、轍に引っかかっているような気がしたので、アメリカの偉大な哲学者モーガン・スパーロックの足跡をたどり、30日間新しいことに挑戦することにしました。 Alguns anos atrás, eu senti como se estivesse em uma rotina, então decidi seguir os passos do grande filósofo americano Morgan Spurlock e tentar algo novo por 30 dias.

The idea is actually pretty simple. A ideia é bem simples. Think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days. It turns out, 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit --like watching the news --from your life. Acontece que 30 dias é a quantidade certa de tempo para adicionar um novo hábito ou subtrair um hábito - como assistir às notícias - de sua vida. There’s a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. Há algumas coisas que aprendi ao fazer esses desafios de 30 dias.

The first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. 1つ目は、何ヶ月も飛んでいたのではなく、忘れられていた時間でした。 O primeiro foi, em vez dos meses que passavam, esquecidos, o tempo era muito mais memorável. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture everyday for a month. Isso foi parte de um desafio que fiz para tirar uma foto todos os dias durante um mês. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day. I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence  grew. Também notei que, quando comecei a fazer mais e mais desafios de 30 dias, minha autoconfiança cresceu. I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work --for fun. 私は机に住むコンピューターオタクから、自転車で仕事をするような人に、楽しみのために行きました。 Eu fui de nerd de computador de mesa para o tipo de cara que anda de bicicleta para o trabalho - por diversão. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Mesmo no ano passado, acabei por subir o Monte. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges. I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days. Eu também descobri que, se você realmente quer alguma coisa, você pode fazer qualquer coisa por 30 dias.

Have you ever wanted to write a novel? Você já quis escrever um romance? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000 word novel from scratch in 30 days. Todo mês de novembro, dezenas de milhares de pessoas tentam escrever seu próprio romance de 50.000 palavras do zero em 30 dias. It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. Acontece que tudo o que você precisa fazer é escrever 1.667 palavras por dia durante um mês. So I did. By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you’ve written your words for the day. By the way, o segredo não é ir dormir até que você tenha escrito suas palavras para o dia. You might be sleep-deprived, but you’ll finish your novel. Você pode ser privado de sono, mas você terminará seu romance. Now is my book the next great  American novel? No. I wrote it in a month. Eu escrevi em um mês. It’s awful. É horrível. But for the rest of my life, if I meet john Hodgman at a TED party, I don’t have to say, "I’m a computer scientist. "No, no, if I want to I can say, "I’m a novelist. (Laughter)

So here’s one last thing I’d like to mention. Então, aqui está uma última coisa que eu gostaria de mencionar.

I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing  they were more likely to stick. 私が小さくて持続可能な変更を加えたとき、私がやり続けることができることは固執する可能性が高いことを学びました。 Eu aprendi que quando eu fazia pequenas mudanças sustentáveis, coisas que eu poderia continuar fazendo, elas eram mais propensas a ficar. Я узнал, что когда я делал небольшие, устойчивые изменения, вещи, которые я мог продолжать делать, с большей вероятностью оставались неизменными. There’s nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. In fact, they’re a ton of fun. 実際、とても楽しい。 Na verdade, eles são muito divertidos. But they’re less likely to stick. しかし、それが定着する可能性は低い。 Mas eles são menos propensos a permanecer. When I gave up sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked like this. Quando eu desisti de açúcar por 30 dias, o dia 31 ficou assim. (Laughter)

So here’s my question to you: What are you waiting for? Então, aqui está a minha pergunta para você: O que você está esperando? Итак, вот мой вопрос к вам: чего вы ждете?

I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days. Eu garanto que os próximos 30 dias vão passar, quer você goste ou não, então por que não pensar em algo que você sempre quis tentar dar uma chance nos próximos 30 dias? Я гарантирую, что следующие 30 дней пройдут независимо от того, нравится вам это или нет, так почему бы не подумать о чем-то, что вы всегда хотели попробовать, и дать ему шанс на следующие 30 дней. Thanks.

(Applause)
