A few years ago,

2000
Fa alguns anys
00:17
I felt like I was stuck in a rut,
1
2000
3000
em sentia com si estés encallat en una rutina,
00:20
so I decided to follow in the footsteps
2
5000
2000
així que vaig decidir seguir les passes
00:22
of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock,
3
7000
3000
del gran filòsof americà Morgan Spurlock,
00:25
and try something new for 30 days.
4
10000
3000
i provar quelcom nou durant trenta dies.
00:28
The idea is actually pretty simple.
5
13000
2000
La idea és ben simple en realitat.
00:30
Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life
6
15000
3000
Pensa en quelcom que sempre hagis volgut incorporar a la teva vida
00:33
and try it for the next 30 days.
7
18000
3000
i prova-ho els propers trenta dies.
00:36
It turns out,
8
21000
2000
Resulta que
00:38
30 days is just about the right amount of time
9
23000
2000
trenta dies és la quantitat perfecta de temps
00:40
to add a new habit or subtract a habit --
10
25000
2000
per a incorporar un nou hàbit o substreure un hàbit...
00:42
like watching the news --
11
27000
2000
com mirar les noticies...
00:44
from your life.
12
29000
2000
de la teva vida.
00:46
There's a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.
13
31000
3000
He après diverses coses mentres feia aquests reptes de trenta dies.
00:49
The first was,
14
34000
2000
La primera va ser,
00:51
instead of the months flying by, forgotten,
15
36000
3000
enlloc de passar els mesos volant, perduts,
00:54
the time was much more memorable.
16
39000
3000
el temps era molt més memorable.
00:57
This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month.
17
42000
3000
Això va ser part d'un repte que vaig fer de fer una foto cada dia durant un mes.
01:00
And I remember exactly where I was
18
45000
3000
I recordo exactament on era
01:03
and what I was doing that day.
19
48000
3000
i què feia aquell dia.
01:06
I also noticed
20
51000
2000
També em vaig adonar
01:08
that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges,
21
53000
2000
que quan vaig començar a fer més reptes de trenta dies i més durs,
01:10
my self-confidence grew.
22
55000
2000
la meva auto-confiança va créixer.
01:12
I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd
23
57000
2000
Vaig passar de ser un informàtic setciències que vivia en un escriptori
01:14
to the kind of guy who bikes to work --
24
59000
3000
al tipus de tio que va a la feina amb bici
01:17
for fun.
25
62000
3000
per diversió.
01:20
Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro,
26
65000
3000
Fins i tot l'any passat vaig acabar pujant el mont Kilimanjaro,
01:23
the highest mountain in Africa.
27
68000
2000
la muntanya més alta d'Àfrica.
01:25
I would never have been that adventurous
28
70000
3000
Mai havia estat tan aventurer
01:28
before I started my 30-day challenges.
29
73000
3000
abans de començar els meus reptes de trenta dies.
01:31
I also figured out
30
76000
2000
També vaig descobrir
01:33
that if you really want something badly enough,
31
78000
2000
que si realment vols una cosa de forma imperiosa,
01:35
you can do anything for 30 days.
32
80000
3000
pots fer qualsevol cosa durant trenta dies.
01:38
Have you ever wanted to write a novel?
33
83000
2000
Has volgut mai escriure una novel.la?
01:40
Every November,
34
85000
2000
Cada novembre,
01:42
tens of thousands of people
35
87000
2000
desenes de mil.lers de persones
01:44
try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch
36
89000
4000
proven d'escriure la seva propia novel.la de cinquanta mil paraules des de zero
01:48
in 30 days.
37
93000
2000
en trenta dies.
01:50
It turns out, all you have to do
38
95000
2000
Resulta que, tot el què has de fer
01:52
is write 1,667 words a day
39
97000
3000
és escriure mil sis-centes paraules cada dia
01:55
for a month.
40
100000
2000
durant un mes.
01:57
So I did.
41
102000
2000
I així ho vaig fer.
01:59
By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep
42
104000
2000
Per cert, el secret és no anar-se'n a dormir
02:01
until you've written your words for the day.
43
106000
3000
fins que no has escrit les paraules d'aquell dia.
02:04
You might be sleep-deprived,
44
109000
2000
Potser patiràs falta de son
02:06
but you'll finish your novel.
45
111000
2000
però acabaràs la novel.la.
02:08
Now is my book the next great American novel?
46
113000
4000
Serà el meu llibre la propera gran novel.la americana?
02:12
No. I wrote it in a month.
47
117000
2000
No. La vaig escriure en un mes.
02:14
It's awful.
48
119000
3000
És espantosa.
02:17
But for the rest of my life,
49
122000
2000
Però durant la resta de la meva vida,
02:19
if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party,
50
124000
3000
si em trobo en John Hodgman en una festa de TED,
02:22
I don't have to say,
51
127000
2000
no haig de dir
02:24
"I'm a computer scientist."
52
129000
2000
"Sóc un informàtic".
02:26
No, no, if I want to, I can say, "I'm a novelist."
53
131000
3000
No, no, si vull puc dir: "Sóc novel.lista".
02:29
(Laughter)
54
134000
3000
(Rialles)
02:32
So here's one last thing I'd like to mention.
55
137000
3000
Hi ha una última cosa que m'agradaria mencionar.
02:35
I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes,
56
140000
3000
Vaig aprendre que quan feia canvis petits i sostenibles,
02:38
things I could keep doing,
57
143000
2000
coses que podia seguir fent,
02:40
they were more likely to stick.
58
145000
2000
tenia més probabilitats que es consolidessin.
02:42
There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges.
59
147000
3000
No hi ha res dolent en els reptes grans i bojos.
02:45
In fact, they're a ton of fun.
60
150000
3000
De fet, són súper divertits.
02:48
But they're less likely to stick.
61
153000
2000
Però és menys probable que es consolidin.
02:50
When I gave up sugar for 30 days,
62
155000
2000
Quan vaig deixar el sucre durant trenta dies,
02:52
day 31 looked like this.
63
157000
2000
el dia trenta-u tenia aquesta pinta.
02:54
(Laughter)
64
159000
2000
(Rialles)
02:56
So here's my question to you:
65
161000
3000
Així que aquesta és la meva pregunta per a vosaltres:
02:59
What are you waiting for?
66
164000
2000
Què esteu esperant?
03:01
I guarantee you the next 30 days
67
166000
2000
Us garanteixo que els trenta propers dies
03:03
are going to pass
68
168000
2000
passaran
03:05
whether you like it or not,
69
170000
2000
tant si voleu com si no,
03:07
so why not think about something
70
172000
2000
així que perquè no penseu alguna cosa
03:09
you have always wanted to try
71
174000
2000
que sempre hagueu volgut provar
03:11
and give it a shot
72
176000
2000
i donar-li una oportunitat
03:13
for the next 30 days.
73
178000
2000
els trenta propers dies?
03:15
Thanks.
74
180000
2000
Gràcies.
03:17
(Applause)
