V vsakem tednu je 168 ur. Kako naj najdemo čas za tisto, kar je najbolj pomembno? Strokovnjakinja za upravljanje s časom, Laura Vanderkam, raziskuje, kako uspešni ljudje preživljajo svoja življenja, in odkrila je, da nas veliko drastično precenjuje, koliko dela imamo čez teden, in podcenjuje čas, ki ga imamo zase. Ponudi nam nekaj praktičnih strategij, da lahko najdemo več časa za tisto, kar nam je pomembno, da lahko "zgradimo življenja, ki si jih želimo v času, ki ga imamo".

Ko ljudje izvejo, da pišem
o upravljanju s časom,
o upravljanju s časom,
00:16
they assume two things.
1
4588
1675
predvidevajo dve stvari.
00:19
One is that I'm always on time,
2
7564
2984
Prva je, da sem vedno točna,
00:23
and I'm not.
3
11747
1237
in nisem.
00:25
I have four small children,
4
13525
1345
Imam štiri majhne otroke
00:26
and I would like to blame them
for my occasional tardiness,
for my occasional tardiness,
5
14894
2816
in rada bi jih okrivila
za moje občasno zamujanje,
za moje občasno zamujanje,
00:29
but sometimes it's just not their fault.
6
17734
2108
a včasih pač ni njihova krivda.
00:32
I was once late to my own speech
on time management.
on time management.
7

2747
Enkrat sem zamudila na lasten
govor o upravljanju s časom.
govor o upravljanju s časom.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)
00:36
We all had to just take a moment
together and savor that irony.
together and savor that irony.
9
24200
3573
Vsi smo si morali vzeti trenutek
in uživati v tej ironiji.
in uživati v tej ironiji.
00:40
The second thing they assume
is that I have lots of tips and tricks
is that I have lots of tips and tricks
10
28972
3219
Druga stvar pa je, da predvidevajo,
da sem polna nasvetov in trikov,
da sem polna nasvetov in trikov,
00:44
for saving bits of time here and there.
11
32215

kako prihraniti drobce časa tu in tam.
00:46
Sometimes I'll hear from magazines
that are doing a story along these lines,
that are doing a story along these lines,
12
34132
3714
Včasih to slišim od revij,
ki pišejo članek v tem stilu,
ki pišejo članek v tem stilu,
ponavadi o tem, kako naj bralci
v svojem dnevu najdejo dodatno uro časa.
v svojem dnevu najdejo dodatno uro časa.
00:49
generally on how to help their readers
find an extra hour in the day.
find an extra hour in the day.
13
37870
3327
00:53
And the idea is that we'll shave
bits of time off everyday activities,
bits of time off everyday activities,
14
41221
3286
Ideja je, da bomo z vsakodnevnih
aktivnosti odbili drobce časa,
aktivnosti odbili drobce časa,
00:56
add it up,
15
44531
1177
jih združili in imeli bomo
čas za nekaj dobrega.
čas za nekaj dobrega.
00:57
and we'll have time for the good stuff.

I question the entire premise
of this piece, but I'm always interested

Dvomim v celotno predpostavko tega članka,
a me vedno zanima, česa so se domislili,

01:03
in hearing what they've come
up with before they call me.

preden so me poklicali.
Nekaj mojih najljubših:
01:06
Some of my favorites:
19
54695

opravki, pri katerih
se obračaš samo v desno -

01:07
doing errands where you only
have to make right-hand turns --

Biti zelo preudaren
pri uporabi mikrovalovke:

Being extremely judicious

22
59853
2146
01:14
it says three to three-and-a-half
minutes on the package,
minutes on the package,
23
62023
2723
če na embalaži piše od tri minute do tri
in pol, absolutno ciljamo na spodnjo mejo.
in pol, absolutno ciljamo na spodnjo mejo.
01:16
we're totally getting in on
the bottom side of that.
the bottom side of that.
24
64770
2436
In moja najljubša, ki je
na nek način celo smiselna,
na nek način celo smiselna,
01:19
And my personal favorite,
which makes sense on some level,
which makes sense on some level,
25
67230
2739
je, da posnamete svoje najljubše oddaje,
da lahko prevrtite naprej skozi reklame.
da lahko prevrtite naprej skozi reklame.
01:21
is to DVR your favorite shows so you can
fast-forward through the commercials.
fast-forward through the commercials.
26
69993
3752
Tako prihranite osem minut vsake pol ure,
01:25
That way, you save
eight minutes every half hour,
eight minutes every half hour,
27
73769
2292
tako v dveh urah gledanja televizije,
01:28
so in the course of two hours
of watching TV,
of watching TV,
28
76085
2097
najdete 32 minut za telovadbo.
01:30
you find 32 minutes to exercise.
29
78206
1543
(Smeh)
01:31
(Laughter)
30
79773
1016
Kar je res.
01:32
Which is true.
31
80813
1285
01:34
You know another way to find
32 minutes to exercise?
32 minutes to exercise?
32
82587
2621
Veste, kako lahko še najdete
32 minut za telovadbo?
32 minut za telovadbo?
01:37
Don't watch two hours of TV a day, right?
33
85629
2332
Ne glejte televizije 2 uri na dan, ok?
01:39
(Laughter)
34
87985
1016
(Smeh)
01:41
Anyway, the idea is we'll save bits
of time here and there, add it up,
of time here and there, add it up,
35
89025
3474
Kakorkoli, ta ideja, da bomo
prihranili čas tu in tam, ga združili,
prihranili čas tu in tam, ga združili,
01:44
we will finally get
to everything we want to do.
to everything we want to do.
36
92523
2284
in se končno lotili vsega, kar želimo.
A ko raziščemo, kako uspešni ljudje
preživljajo svoj čas
preživljajo svoj čas
01:46
But after studying how successful
people spend their time
people spend their time
37
94831
2912
01:49
and looking at their
schedules hour by hour,
schedules hour by hour,
38
97767
2637
in pogledamo njihov urnik uro za uro,
01:52
I think this idea
has it completely backward.
has it completely backward.
39
100428
3296
menim, da je ta ideja popolnoma napačna.
01:56
We don't build the lives
we want by saving time.
we want by saving time.
40
104305
3642
Življenja, ki ga hočemo, ne zgradimo
s tem, da prihranimo čas.
s tem, da prihranimo čas.
02:00
We build the lives we want,
41
108566
1560
Zgradimo življenje, kot ga hočemo,
02:02
and then time saves itself.
42
110636
2967
in čas se prihrani sam.
02:07
Here's what I mean.
43
115194
1151
Tole mislim.
Nedavno sem naredila projekt dnevnika
02:08
I recently did a time diary project
44
116369
1694
in pogledala 1001 dan
v življenju zelo zaposlenih žensk.
v življenju zelo zaposlenih žensk.
02:10
looking at 1,001 days in the lives
of extremely busy women.
of extremely busy women.
45
118087
4204
02:14
They had demanding jobs,
sometimes their own businesses,
sometimes their own businesses,
46
122315
2644
Imele so zahtevne službe,
včasih svoja podjetja,
včasih svoja podjetja,
02:16
kids to care for,
maybe parents to care for,
maybe parents to care for,
47
124983
2135
skrbele so za otroke,
morda tudi za starše,
morda tudi za starše,
02:19
community commitments --
48
127142
1330
obveznosti v skupnosti -
02:20
busy, busy people.
49
128496
1813
zelo zaposlene osebe.
02:22
I had them keep track
of their time for a week
of their time for a week
50
130799
2207
Sledila sem njihovemu času en teden,
da bi lahko seštela,
koliko časa so delale in spale,
koliko časa so delale in spale,
02:25
so I could add up how much
they worked and slept,
they worked and slept,
51
133030
2313
in jih intervjuvala
o njihovih strategijah za mojo knjigo.
o njihovih strategijah za mojo knjigo.
02:27
and I interviewed them
about their strategies, for my book.
about their strategies, for my book.
52
135367
2809
Ena izmed žensk, ki sem jo preučevala,
gre v sredo zvečer po opravkih.
gre v sredo zvečer po opravkih.
02:30
One of the women whose time log I studied
53
138200
1989
02:32
goes out on a Wednesday night
for something.
for something.
54
140213
2063
Ko pride domov ugotovi,
da se ji je pokvaril bojler
da se ji je pokvaril bojler
02:34
She comes home to find
that her water heater has broken,
that her water heater has broken,
55
142300
2629
02:36
and there is now water
all over her basement.
all over her basement.
56
144953
2636
in voda je poplavila celo klet.
02:40
If you've ever had anything
like this happen to you,
like this happen to you,
57
148380
2454
Če se vam je že kdaj zgodilo kaj takega,
veste, da je to grozna mokra
zmeda, ki povzroči veliko škode.
zmeda, ki povzroči veliko škode.
02:42
you know it is a hugely damaging,
frightening, sopping mess.
frightening, sopping mess.
58
150858
2880
02:45
So she's dealing with the immediate
aftermath that night,
aftermath that night,
59
153762
2710
Tako se s trenutno škodo
ukvarja tisto noč,
ukvarja tisto noč,
02:48
next day she's got plumbers coming in,
60
156496
1877
naslednji dan pridejo vodovodarji,
naslednji dan čistilci,
ki se ukvarjajo z uničeno preprogo.
ki se ukvarjajo z uničeno preprogo.
02:50
day after that, professional cleaning
crew dealing with the ruined carpet.
crew dealing with the ruined carpet.
61
158397
3500
In to se zapiše v njen dnevnik.
02:53
All this is being recorded
on her time log.
on her time log.
62
161921
2066
Na koncu ji vzame sedem ur v tednu.
02:56
Winds up taking seven hours of her week.
63
164011
2300
02:59
Seven hours.
64
167191
1282
Sedem ur.
03:01
That's like finding
an extra hour in the day.
an extra hour in the day.
65
169179
2802
To je, kot če bi našli dodatno uro na dan.
03:04
But I'm sure if you had asked her
at the start of the week,
at the start of the week,
66
172834
2794
A prepričana sem,
če bi jo vprašali na začetku tedna:
če bi jo vprašali na začetku tedna:
"Bi lahko našla sedem ur,
da bi trenirala za triatlon?"
da bi trenirala za triatlon?"
03:07
"Could you find seven hours
to train for a triathlon?"
to train for a triathlon?"
67
175652
3218
03:11
"Could you find seven hours
to mentor seven worthy people?"
to mentor seven worthy people?"
68
179893
3805
"Bi lahko našla sedem ur
za mentorstvo sedmim ljudem?"
za mentorstvo sedmim ljudem?"
03:15
I'm sure she would've said
what most of us would've said,
what most of us would've said,
69
183722
2691
Sem prepričana, da bi rekla
enako kot večina izmed nas,
enako kot večina izmed nas,
03:18
which is, "No -- can't you see
how busy I am?"
how busy I am?"
70
186437
4444
in sicer, "Ne - kaj ne vidiš,
kako sem zaposlena?"
kako sem zaposlena?"
03:23
Yet when she had to find seven hours
71
191521
1797
A ko je morala najti sedem ur,
03:25
because there is water
all over her basement,
all over her basement,
72
193342
2799
ker je imela klet polno vode,
03:28
she found seven hours.
73
196165
2510
jih je našla.
03:31
And what this shows us
is that time is highly elastic.
is that time is highly elastic.
74
199055
4151
In to nam pokaže,
da je čas izredno elastičen.
da je čas izredno elastičen.
03:35
We cannot make more time,
75
203594
2043
Ne moremo narediti več časa,
03:37
but time will stretch to accommodate
what we choose to put into it.
what we choose to put into it.
76
205661
4179
a čas se bo raztegnil,
da bo prostor za tisto, kar damo vanj.
da bo prostor za tisto, kar damo vanj.
03:42
And so the key to time management
77
210366
2567
In ključ do tega upravljanja s časom je,
03:45
is treating our priorities
78
213541
2235
da obravnavamo naše prioritete
03:47
as the equivalent
of that broken water heater.
of that broken water heater.
79
215800
3047
kot enakovredne tistemu
pokvarjenemu bojlerju.
pokvarjenemu bojlerju.
03:52
To get at this,
80
220162
1150
Da se tega lotim,
rada uporabim jezik ene od najbolj
zaposlenih oseb, kar sem jih intervjuvala.
zaposlenih oseb, kar sem jih intervjuvala.
03:53
I like to use language from one
of the busiest people I ever interviewed.
of the busiest people I ever interviewed.
81
221336
3445
03:56
By busy, I mean she was running
a small business
a small business
82
224805
2288
S tem mislim, da je imela
manjše podjetje z 12 zaposlenimi,
manjše podjetje z 12 zaposlenimi,
03:59
with 12 people on the payroll,
83
227117
1469
v prostem času pa 6 otrok.
04:00
she had six children in her spare time.
84
228610
2023
04:02
I was getting in touch with her
to set up an interview
to set up an interview
85
230657
2618
Stopila sem v kontakt z njo,
da bi naredila intervju,
da bi naredila intervju,
kako "ji vse uspeva" - ta fraza.
04:05
on how she "had it all" -- that phrase.
86
233299
2496
04:07
I remember it was a Thursday morning,
87
235819
1809
Bilo je četrtkovo jutro
in ni bila na voljo za pogovor.
in ni bila na voljo za pogovor.
04:09
and she was not available
to speak with me.
to speak with me.
88
237652
2007
Normalno, kajne?
04:11
Of course, right?
89
239683
1156
A razlog, da ni bila na voljo
za pogovor z mano,
za pogovor z mano,
04:12
But the reason she was
unavailable to speak with me
unavailable to speak with me
90
240863
2419
je bil, da je šla na pohod,
04:15
is that she was out for a hike,
91
243306
1940
04:17
because it was a beautiful spring morning,
92
245270
2038
ker je bilo lepo pomladno jutro
in želela si je na pohod.
in želela si je na pohod.
04:19
and she wanted to go for a hike.
93
247332
1563
04:20
So of course this makes me
even more intrigued,
even more intrigued,
94
248919
2337
Seveda sem bila potem še bolj radovedna
04:23
and when I finally do catch up with her,
she explains it like this.
she explains it like this.
95
251280
3176
in ko sva se končno ujeli,
mi je takole pojasnila.
mi je takole pojasnila.
Pravi: "Poslušaj, Laura, vse, kar počnem,
04:26
She says, "Listen Laura, everything I do,
96
254480
2267
04:29
every minute I spend, is my choice."
97
257592
3613
kako preživim vsako minuto,
je moja odločitev."
je moja odločitev."
04:33
And rather than say,
98
261830
1151
In namesto, da bi rekla,
04:35
"I don't have time to do x, y or z,"
99
263005
2429
"Nimam časa za x, y, ali z"
04:37
she'd say, "I don't do x, y or z
because it's not a priority."
because it's not a priority."
100
265893
5114
reče, "Ne delam x, y ali z,
ker ni prioriteta."
ker ni prioriteta."
04:43
"I don't have time," often means
"It's not a priority."
"It's not a priority."
101
271709
4368
"Nimam časa", pogosto pomeni,
"Ni prioriteta."
"Ni prioriteta."
04:49
If you think about it,
that's really more accurate language.
that's really more accurate language.
102
277075
2888
In ko pomisliš, je tako bolj točno.
04:51
I could tell you I don't have time
to dust my blinds,
to dust my blinds,
103
279987
2564
Lahko bi rekla, da nimam časa
za brisanje prahu z žaluzij, a to ni res.
za brisanje prahu z žaluzij, a to ni res.
04:54
but that's not true.
104
282575
1169
Če bi mi ponudili 100.000 $, da jih
obrišem, bi to storila precej hitro.
obrišem, bi to storila precej hitro.
04:55
If you offered to pay me $100,000
to dust my blinds,
to dust my blinds,
105
283768
2440
04:58
I would get to it pretty quickly.
106
286232
1600
(Smeh)
04:59
(Laughter)
107
287856
1016
Ker pa se to ne bo zgodilo,
05:00
Since that is not going to happen,
108
288896
1635
lahko priznam,
da ne gre za pomanjkanje časa,
da ne gre za pomanjkanje časa,
05:02
I can acknowledge this is not
a matter of lacking time;
a matter of lacking time;
109
290555
2604
tega pač nočem početi.
05:05
it's that I don't want to do it.
110
293183
1601
05:06
Using this language reminds us
that time is a choice.
that time is a choice.
111
294808
3386
Z uporabo tega jezika
se spomnimo, da imamo izbiro.
se spomnimo, da imamo izbiro.
05:10
And granted,
112
298218
1173
In seveda,
05:11
there may be horrible consequences
for making different choices,
for making different choices,
113
299415
3032
drugačnim odločitvam
lahko sledijo grozne posledice,
lahko sledijo grozne posledice,
05:14
I will give you that.
114
302471
1206
to priznam.
05:15
But we are smart people,
115
303701
1622
A smo pametni
05:17
and certainly over the long run,
116
305347
1858
in dolgoročno
05:19
we have the power to fill our lives
117
307229
2000
imamo moč, da zapolnimo življenja
05:21
with the things that deserve to be there.
118
309253
2676
s stvarmi, ki si zaslužijo, da so tam.
05:25
So how do we do that?
119
313204
1288
Kako torej to storimo?
05:27
How do we treat our priorities
120
315127
1432
Kako obravnavati prioritete
kot enakovredne pokvarjenemu bojlerju?
kot enakovredne pokvarjenemu bojlerju?
05:28
as the equivalent
of that broken water heater?
of that broken water heater?
121
316583
2331
05:31
Well, first we need
to figure out what they are.
to figure out what they are.
122
319531
2319
Najprej moramo ugotoviti, kakšne so.
05:33
I want to give you two strategies
for thinking about this.
for thinking about this.
123
321874
2754
Želim vam dati dve strategiji za to.
Najprej glede profesionalne strani.
05:36
The first, on the professional side:
124
324652
1758
Prepričana sem, da vas veliko konec leta
daje in dobiva letne ocene dela.
daje in dobiva letne ocene dela.
05:38
I'm sure many people
coming up to the end of the year
coming up to the end of the year
125
326434
2511
05:40
are giving or getting
annual performance reviews.
annual performance reviews.
126
328969
2323
Pogledate nazaj na uspehe preteklega leta,
05:43
You look back over
your successes over the year,
your successes over the year,
127
331316
2265
na "priložnosti za razvoj."
05:45
your "opportunities for growth."
128
333605
2045
05:47
And this serves its purpose,
129
335674
2023
In to služi svojemu namenu,
05:50
but I find it's more effective
to do this looking forward.
to do this looking forward.
130
338221
2930
a menim, da je bolj učinkovito,
če gledamo naprej.
če gledamo naprej.
05:53
So I want you to pretend
it's the end of next year.
it's the end of next year.
131
341175
2594
Želim, da se pretvarjate,
da je konec naslednjega leta.
da je konec naslednjega leta.
05:56
You're giving yourself
a performance review,
a performance review,
132
344326
2361
Sebi pišete letno oceno
05:58
and it has been an absolutely
amazing year for you professionally.

133
346711
4516
in za vas je bilo to leto
na profesionalnem področju neverjetno.

5787
Katerih pet stvari ste naredili,
da je bilo tako neverjetno?
da je bilo tako neverjetno?
06:10
So you can write next
year's performance review now.
year's performance review now.
135
358734
3800
Zato si lahko sedaj
napišete oceno za letos.
napišete oceno za letos.
06:14
And you can do this
for your personal life, too.
for your personal life, too.
136
362558
2247
Enako lahko naredite za zasebno življenje.
Prepričana sem, da mnogi
izmed vas, tako kot jaz, decembra
izmed vas, tako kot jaz, decembra
06:16
I'm sure many of you,
like me, come December,
like me, come December,
137
364829
2629
dobite kartice, v katerih so
zloženi listi pisanega papirja,
zloženi listi pisanega papirja,
06:19
get cards that contain these folded up
sheets of colored paper,
sheets of colored paper,
138
367482
3546
06:23
on which is written what is known
as the family holiday letter.

139
371491
4830
na katerih je napisano
družinsko praznično pismo.
družinsko praznično pismo.
06:28
(Laughter)
140
376345
1638
(Smeh)
06:30
Bit of a wretched genre
of literature, really,
of literature, really,
141
378007
2631
Precej klavrn literarni žanr,
06:32
going on about how amazing
everyone in the household is,
everyone in the household is,
142
380662
3284
v katerem opisuje, kako neverjetni
so vsi v gospodinjstvu,
so vsi v gospodinjstvu,
06:35
or even more scintillating,
143
383970
1287
ali še boljše,
kako so vsi zaposleni.
06:37
how busy everyone in the household is.
144
385281
2175
06:39
But these letters serve a purpose,
145
387815
1649
A ta pisma imajo smisel,
in to je, da povedo
vašim prijateljem in družini,
vašim prijateljem in družini,
06:41
which is that they tell
your friends and family
your friends and family
146
389488
2207
06:43
what you did in your personal life
that mattered to you over the year.
that mattered to you over the year.
147
391719
3325
kaj ste pomembnega naredili
v osebnem življenju čez leto.
v osebnem življenju čez leto.
To leto je nekako končano,
06:47
So this year's kind of done,
148
395068
1384
a pretvarjajte se,
da je konec naslednjega leta
da je konec naslednjega leta
06:48
but I want you to pretend
it's the end of next year,
it's the end of next year,
149
396476
2450
06:50
and it has been an absolutely amazing year
150
398950
2754
in bilo je absolutno neverjetno leto
06:54
for you and the people you care about.
151
402172
2653
za vas in za ljudi, ki so vam blizu.
06:57
What three to five things did you do
that made it so amazing?
that made it so amazing?
152
405391
4703
Katerih tri do pet stvari ste naredili,
da je bilo tako neverjetno?
da je bilo tako neverjetno?
07:02
So you can write next
year's family holiday letter now.
year's family holiday letter now.
153
410839
4141
Tako lahko napišete družinsko
praznično pismo že zdaj.
praznično pismo že zdaj.
07:07
Don't send it.
154
415789
1193
Ne pošljite ga.
07:09
(Laughter)
155
417006
1016
(Smeh)
07:10
Please, don't send it.
156
418046
2638
Prosim, ne pošljite ga.
07:13
But you can write it.
157
421049
1390
Lahko ga pa napišete.
07:14
And now, between the performance
review and the family holiday letter,
review and the family holiday letter,
158
422463
3714
Sedaj imamo z oceno dela
in družinskim prazničnim pismom
in družinskim prazničnim pismom
07:18
we have a list of six to ten goals
we can work on in the next year.
we can work on in the next year.
159
426201
3237
seznam šestih do desetih ciljev,
na katerih lahko delamo naslednje leto.
na katerih lahko delamo naslednje leto.
07:21
And now we need to break
these down into doable steps.
these down into doable steps.
160
429462
2799
In sedaj moramo to razdeliti
na izvedljive korake.
na izvedljive korake.
07:24
So maybe you want
to write a family history.
to write a family history.
161
432285
2208
Morda si želite napisati
družinsko zgodovino.
družinsko zgodovino.
07:26
First, you can read
some other family histories,
some other family histories,
162
434517
2253
Lahko si najprej preberete kakšno drugo,
da dobite občutek za stil.
da dobite občutek za stil.
07:28
get a sense for the style.
163
436794
1262
07:30
Then maybe think about the questions
you want to ask your relatives,
you want to ask your relatives,
164
438080
3207
Potem se domislite vprašanj
za svoje sorodnike,
za svoje sorodnike,
določite datume za intervju.
07:33
set up appointments to interview them.
165
441311
1849
Ali pa si želite preteči 5 km.
07:35
Or maybe you want to run a 5K.
166
443184
1461
Najti morate tek in se nanj prijaviti,
pripraviti načrt za trening
pripraviti načrt za trening
07:36
So you need to find a race and sign up,
figure out a training plan,
figure out a training plan,
167
444669
3161
in izkopati čevlje iz zadnjega dela omare.
07:39
and dig those shoes
out of the back of the closet.
out of the back of the closet.
168
447854
2373
In potem - to je ključno -
07:42
And then -- this is key --
169
450251
1942
07:44
we treat our priorities as the equivalent
of that broken water heater,
of that broken water heater,
170
452217
4095
naše prioritete obravnavamo
kot enakovredne pokvarjenemu bojlerju
kot enakovredne pokvarjenemu bojlerju
tako, da so prve na urniku.
07:48
by putting them into our schedules first.
171
456336
2999
07:51
We do this by thinking through our weeks
before we are in them.
before we are in them.
172
459879
4760
To naredimo tako, da premislimo
naše tedne, preden so tu.
naše tedne, preden so tu.
07:56
I find a really good time to do this
is Friday afternoons.
is Friday afternoons.
173
464663
3684
Zelo dober čas za
to se mi zdi petek popoldne.
to se mi zdi petek popoldne.
08:00
Friday afternoon is what
an economist might call
an economist might call
174
468885
2548
Petek popoldne je čas,
ki bi mu ekonomisti morda rekli
ki bi mu ekonomisti morda rekli
08:03
a "low opportunity cost" time.
175
471457
2537
čas nizkih oportunitetnih stroškov.
08:06
Most of us are not sitting there
on Friday afternoons saying,
on Friday afternoons saying,
176
474764
2900
Večina nas v petek popoldne
ne sedi in pravi:
ne sedi in pravi:
08:09
"I am excited to make progress
177
477688
1879
"Navdušen sem, da bom napredoval
08:11
toward my personal
and professional priorities
and professional priorities
178
479591
2296
proti svojim osebnim
in profesionalnim prioritetam
in profesionalnim prioritetam
08:13
right now."
179
481911
1154
zdaj."
08:15
(Laughter)
180
483089
1016
(Smeh)
A pripravljeni smo pomisliti,
kaj bi te lahko bile.
kaj bi te lahko bile.
08:16
But we are willing to think
about what those should be.
about what those should be.
181
484129
2617
08:18
So take a little bit
of time Friday afternoon,
of time Friday afternoon,
182
486770
2205
Zato si vzemite nekaj časa
v petek popoldne,
v petek popoldne,
naredite seznam prioritet s tremi
kategorijami: kariera, razmerje, jaz.
kategorijami: kariera, razmerje, jaz.
08:20
make yourself a three-category priority
list: career, relationships, self.
list: career, relationships, self.
183
488999
6190
08:28
Making a three-category list reminds us
184
496382
3198
Ko naredimo seznam
s tremi kategorijami, nas to opomni,
s tremi kategorijami, nas to opomni,
08:31
that there should be something
in all three categories.
in all three categories.
185
499604
3490
da mora biti nekaj
v vseh treh kategorijah.
v vseh treh kategorijah.
08:35
Career, we think about;
186
503118
1256
Kariera, na to pomislimo;
08:36
relationships, self --
187
504398
1507
razmerja, jaz -
08:37
not so much.
188
505929
1319
pa niti ne.
08:39
But anyway, just a short list,
189
507272
1898
A kakorkoli, samo kratek seznam,
08:41
two to three items in each.
190
509194
1429
dve do tri stvari v vsaki.
08:43
Then look out over the whole
of the next week,
of the next week,
191
511013
2381
Potem poglej čez celoten naslednji teden,
08:45
and see where you can plan them in.
192
513418
1715
in poglej, kam ji lahko splaniraš.
08:48
Where you plan them in is up to you.
193
516171
2010
Kam jih splanirate, je odvisno od vas.
08:50
I know this is going to be more
complicated for some people than others.
complicated for some people than others.
194
518205
3462
Vem, da bo za nekatere
to bolj zahtevno kot za druge.
to bolj zahtevno kot za druge.
08:53
I mean, some people's lives
are just harder than others.
are just harder than others.
195
521691
3522
S tem mislim, da so življenja
nekaterih ljudi težja kot druga.
nekaterih ljudi težja kot druga.
08:57
It is not going to be easy
to find time to take that poetry class
to find time to take that poetry class
196
525674
3269
Ne bo lahko najti časa za tečaj poezije,
09:00
if you are caring for multiple
children on your own.
children on your own.
197
528967
2730
če skrbite za več otrok čisto sami.
09:04
I get that.
198
532058
1171
To razumem.
In nočem podcenjevati truda drugih.
09:05
And I don't want to minimize
anyone's struggle.
anyone's struggle.
199
533253
2207
09:07
But I do think that the numbers
I am about to tell you are empowering.
I am about to tell you are empowering.
200
535484
4526
A mislim, da številke, ki vam
jih bom povedala, dajejo moč.
jih bom povedala, dajejo moč.
09:12
There are 168 hours in a week.
201
540906
4007
V tednu je 168 ur.
09:17
Twenty-four times seven is 168 hours.
202
545962
4701
Štiriindvajsetkrat sedem je 168 ur.
09:23
That is a lot of time.
203
551295
2733
To je veliko časa.
09:26
If you are working a full-time
job, so 40 hours a week,
job, so 40 hours a week,
204
554627
3191
Če ste polno zaposleni,
torej 40 ur na teden,
torej 40 ur na teden,
09:29
sleeping eight hours a night,
so 56 hours a week --
so 56 hours a week --
205
557842
3092
spite 8 ur na dan, torej 56 ur na teden -
09:32
that leaves 72 hours for other things.
206
560958
2580
nam to pusti 72 ur za druge stvari.
09:36
That is a lot of time.
207
564622
1907
To je veliko časa.
09:38
You say you're working 50 hours a week,
208
566956
1885
Če delate 50 ur na teden,
09:40
maybe a main job and a side hustle.
209
568865
1946
morda službo in malo ob strani,
09:42
Well, that leaves 62 hours
for other things.
for other things.
210
570835
2470
vam to pusti 62 ur za druge stvari.
09:45
You say you're working 60 hours.
211
573329
1900
Recimo, da delate 60 ur na teden.
09:47
Well, that leaves 52 hours
for other things.
for other things.
212
575253
2428
Tako vam ostane 52 ur za druge stvari.
09:49
You say you're working more than 60 hours.
213
577705
2042
Recimo, da delate več kot 60 ur na teden.
09:51
Well, are you sure?
214
579771
1557
Ste prepričani?
09:53
(Laughter)
215
581352
1734
(Smeh)
09:55
There was once a study comparing
people's estimated work weeks
people's estimated work weeks
216
583110
2906
Neka študija je primerjala
ocenjene delovne tedne ljudi
ocenjene delovne tedne ljudi
09:58
with time diaries.
217
586040
1395
z njihovimi dnevniki.
09:59
They found that people claiming
75-plus-hour work weeks
75-plus-hour work weeks
218
587459
2676
Ugotovili so, da so ljudje,
ki so trdili, da delajo 75 ur in več,
ki so trdili, da delajo 75 ur in več,
10:02
were off by about 25 hours.
219
590159
2104
bili v zmoti za kakšnih 25 ur.
10:04
(Laughter)
220
592287
1694
(Smeh)
10:06
You can guess in which direction, right?
221
594005
2321
Lahko si mislite, v katero smer, ne?
10:09
Anyway, in 168 hours a week,
222
597567
2213
Kakorkoli, v 168 urah na teden,
10:11
I think we can find time
for what matters to you.
for what matters to you.
223
599804
2964
menim, da lahko najdete čas za tisto,
kar vam je pomembno.
kar vam je pomembno.
10:14
If you want to spend
more time with your kids,
more time with your kids,
224
602792
2198
Če si želite preživeti več časa z otroki,
10:17
you want to study more
for a test you're taking,
for a test you're taking,
225
605014
2305
če želite več študirati za izpit,
10:19
you want to exercise for three hours
and volunteer for two,
and volunteer for two,
226
607343
3345
če želite telovaditi tri ure
in dve uri volontirati,
in dve uri volontirati,
10:22
you can.
227
610712
1154
lahko.
In to celo, če delate veliko več
kot polni delavnik.
kot polni delavnik.
10:23
And that's even if you're working
way more than full-time hours.
way more than full-time hours.
228
611890
3641
10:27
So we have plenty of time, which is great,
229
615885
2052
Imamo torej veliko časa,
kar je krasno, ker veste kaj?
kar je krasno, ker veste kaj?
10:29
because guess what?
230
617961
1226
10:31
We don't even need that much
time to do amazing things.
time to do amazing things.
231
619211
2838
Sploh ne potrebujemo toliko časa,
za neverjetne stvari.
za neverjetne stvari.
10:34
But when most of us have
bits of time, what do we do?
bits of time, what do we do?
232
622486
2747
Ampak ko imamo malo časa, kaj naredimo?
10:37
Pull out the phone, right?
233
625708
1651
Potegnemo ven telefon, kajne?
10:39
Start deleting emails.
234
627826
2169
Začnemo brisati e-maile.
10:42
Otherwise, we're puttering
around the house
around the house
235
630381
2087
Ali pa se premikamo po hiši,
10:44
or watching TV.
236
632492
1260
ali pa gledamo televizijo.
10:46
But small moments can have great power.
237
634114
2853
A majhni trenutki imajo lahko veliko moč.
10:49
You can use your bits of time
238
637657
1953
Lahko uporabite drobce časa
10:52
for bits of joy.
239

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Laura Vanderkam - AuthorLaura Vanderkam shatters the myth that there just isn’t enough time in the week for working professionals to live happy, balanced and productive lives.
Why you should listen
Between careers and kids, many women feel that they are too busy to cram in anything else. To test the truth of this feeling, author Laura Vanderkam began logging her time for each of the 168 hours of the week. Among her surprising findings: we retroactively overestimate the amount of time spent stressing about work while underestimating our available downtime.
In her latest book, I Know How She Does It, Vanderkam analyzes the ways in which professional women successfully balance free time and work -- and explores how everyday readers can benefit from their experiences.
