Transcript 0:19 What's in the box? Whatever it is must be pretty important, because I've traveled with it, moved it, from apartment to apartment to apartment. 0:30 (Laughter) 0:32 (Applause) 0:35 Sound familiar? Did you know that we Americans have about three times the amount of space we did 50 years ago? Three times. So you'd think, with all this extra space, we'd have plenty of room for all our stuff. Nope. There's a new industry in town, a 22 billion-dollar, 2.2 billion sq. ft. industry: that of personal storage. So we've got triple the space, but we've become such good shoppers that we need even more space. So where does this lead? Lots of credit card debt, huge environmental footprints, and perhaps not coincidentally, our happiness levels flat-lined over the same 50 years. 1:22 Well I'm here to suggest there's a better way, that less might actually equal more. I bet most of us have experienced at some point the joys of less: college -- in your dorm, traveling -- in a hotel room, camping -- rig up basically nothing, maybe a boat. Whatever it was for you, I bet that, among other things, this gave you a little more freedom, a little more time. So I'm going to suggest that less stuff and less space are going to equal a smaller footprint. It's actually a great way to save you some money. And it's going to give you a little more ease in your life. 2:02 So I started a project called Life Edited at lifeedited.org to further this conversation and to find some great solutions in this area. First up: crowd-sourcing my 420 sq. ft. apartment in Manhattan with partners Mutopo and Jovoto.com. I wanted it all -- home office, sit down dinner for 10, room for guests, and all my kite surfing gear. With over 300 entries from around the world, I got it, my own little jewel box. By buying a space that was 420 sq. ft. instead of 600, immediately I'm saving 200 grand. Smaller space is going to make for smaller utilities -- save some more money there, but also a smaller footprint. And because it's really designed around an edited set of possessions -- my favorite stuff -- and really designed for me, I'm really excited to be there. 2:56 So how can you live little? Three main approaches. First of all, you have to edit ruthlessly. We've got to clear the arteries of our lives. And that shirt that I hadn't worn in years? It's time for me to let it go. We've got to cut the extraneous out of our lives, and we've got to learn to stem the inflow. We need to think before we buy. Ask ourselves, "Is that really going to make me happier? Truly?" By all means, we should buy and own some great stuff. But we want stuff that we're going to love for years, not just stuff. 3:33 Secondly, our new mantra: small is sexy. We want space efficiency. We want things that are designed for how they're used the vast majority of the time, not that rare event. Why have a six burner stove when you rarely use three? So we want things that nest, we want things that stack, and we want it digitized. You can take paperwork, books, movies, and you can make it disappear -- it's magic. 4:01 Finally, we want multifunctional spaces and housewares -- a sink combined with a toilet, a dining table becomes a bed -- same space, a little side table stretches out to seat 10. In the winning Life Edited scheme in a render here, we combine a moving wall with transformer furniture to get a lot out of the space. Look at the coffee table -- it grows in height and width to seat 10. My office folds away, easily hidden. My bed just pops out of the wall with two fingers. Guests? Move the moving wall, have some fold-down guest beds. And of course, my own movie theater. 4:43 So I'm not saying that we all need to live in 420 sq. ft. But consider the benefits of an edited life. Most of us, maybe all of us, are here pretty happily for a bunch of days with a couple of bags, maybe a small space, a hotel room. So when you go home and you walk through your front door, take a second and ask yourselves, "Could I do with a little life editing? Would that give me a little more freedom? Maybe a little more time?" 5:16 What's in the box? It doesn't really matter. I know I don't need it. What's in yours? Maybe, just maybe, less might equal more. So let's make room for the good stuff. 5:35 Thank you. 5:37 (Applause)

Transcript Translated by Zrinka Gattin Reviewed by Zeljko Babic 0:19 Što se nalazi u kutiji? Štogod da je, mora da je prilično bitno, jer sam putovao s njom, selio je, od stana do stana do stana. 0:32 (Pljesak) 0:35 Zvuči poznato? Da li znate da mi Amerikanci imamo tri puta više mjesta nego prije 50 godina? Tri puta. Pomislili bi da sa tolikim viškom mjesta imamo dovoljno prostora za sve naše stvari. Nipošto. Postoji nova industrija u gradu, industrija od 22 milijarde dolara i 2.2 milijarde kvadratnih stopa: osobna skladišta. Znači imamo trostruko više mjesta, no postali smo toliko dobri kupci da trebamo još više mjesta. Kamo to sve vodi? Mnogo duga za kreditne kartice, ogroman ekološki otisak, i možda nije slučajno, da naša sreća stagnira u tih 50 godina. 1:22 Ja sam ovdje da predložim bolji put, da manje može zapravo biti više. Kladim se da nas je većina barem jednom doživjela radost manjka: na fakultetu -- u vašoj sobi, na putovanju -- u hotelskoj sobi, na kampiranju -- opremljeni sa gotovo ničim, možda brodom. Što god to bilo za vas, kladim se da vam je, između ostalog, pružilo više slobode, više vremena. Zato ću predložiti da je manje stvari i manje mjesta jednako manjem otisku. To je u stvari savršen način da uštedite novac. I pružit će vam više lagodnosti u vašem životu. 2:02 Tako sam pokrenuo projekt "Life Edited" na lifeedited.org kako bi potaknuo ovu raspravu i otkrio neke odlična rješenja na tom polju. Kao prvo: crowd-sourceanje mog stana od 39 m^2 na Manhattanu sa partnerima Mutopo.com i Jovoto.com. Htio sam sve -- kućni ured, blagovaonicu za 10-ero, sobu za goste, i za svu moju opremu za surfanje sa zmajem. Sa više od 300 prijava iz cijeloga svijeta, dobio sam, moju vlastitu malu kutiju za nakit. Kupivši prostor od 39 kvadratnih metara umjesto 56, odmah sam uštedio 200 tisuća dolara. Manje mjesta traži manja kućna pomagala -- i ovdje je ušteđeno nešto novca, no također i manji otisak. I zbog toga jer je u stvari dizajniran oko prilagođenog vlasništva -- mojih najdražih stvari -- i stvarno dizajniran za mene, osjećam se uzbuđeno bivajući tamo. 2:56 Pa kako možete živjeti malo? Tri su glavna pristupa. Kao prvo, morate nemilosrdno prilagođavati. Moramo očistiti arterije svog života. A ta košulja koju nisam nosio godinama? Vrijeme je da ju odbacim. Moramo izdvojiti suvišne stvari iz naših života, i moramo naučiti kako zaustaviti priljev. Moramo razmisliti prije nego kupimo. Pitajte se, "Hoće li me to stvarno učiniti sretnijim? Zaista?" Svakako, trebali bi kupiti i posjedovati neke divne stvari. No želimo stvari koje ćemo voljeti godinama, ne samo stvari. 3:33 Kao drugo, naša nova mantra: malo je seksi. Želimo efikasnost prostora. Želimo stvari koje su dizajnirane za to kako se upotrebljavaju veliku većinu vremena, a ne za neki izuzetan slučaj. Zašto imati štednjak sa 6 plamenika kad rijetko koristite tri? Dakle želimo stvari koje se gnijezde, koje se slažu, i želimo ih digitalizirati. Možete uzeti papire, knjige, filmove, i možete napraviti da nestanu -- to je magija. 4:01 Konačno, želimo multifunkcionalni prostor i kućanske aparate -- umivaonik kombiniran s nužnikom, Stol za objed se pretvara u krevet -- isti prostor, mali stolić se rastvara u klupu za 10-ero. U pobjedničkoj Life Edited shemi koju možete vidjeti ovdje, spajamo pokretni zid sa transformirajućim namještajem kako bi dobili više prostora. Pogledajte stolić za kavu -- on raste u visinu i duljinu kako bi posjeo 10-ero. Moj se ured sklapa, lagano za sakriti. Moj krevet se pojavi iz zida sa samo dva prsta. Gosti? Pomaknite pokretni zid, koristite krevete na spuštanje. I naravno, moje vlastito kino. 4:43 No ne govorim da bi trebali svi živjeti u 39 kvadrata. Ali razmotrite prednosti prilagođenog života. Krenite sa 3000 na 2000, sa 1500 na 1000. Većina, možda svi, smo ovdje sretni kroz neko vrijeme sa par torba, možda sa malim mjestom, hotelskom sobom. Kada dođete kući i kročite kroz ulazna vrata, uzmite trenutak i zapitajte se, "Mogu li malo prilagoditi svoj život? Hoće li mi to pružiti malo više slobode? Možda malo više vremena?" 5:16 Što se nalazi u kutiji? U stvari nije ni važno. Ja znam da mi to ne treba. Šta je u vašoj? Možda, samo možda, manje može biti jednako više. Zato napravimo mjesta za dobre stvari. 5:35 Hvala vam. 5:37 (Pljesak)
