019: Try something new for 30 days – Matt Cutts

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 that 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 every day 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.”

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.

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.

Die erste war, dass die Monate nicht wie im Fluge vergingen, sondern die Zeit viel erinnerungswürdiger war. 1つ目は、飛んでいた月の代わりに忘れられていた時間でした。 A primeira foi, ao invés dos meses voando, esquecidos, o tempo foi muito mais memorável. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month. كان هذا جزءًا من التحدي الذي قمت به لالتقاط صورة كل يوم لمدة شهر. Dies war Teil einer Herausforderung, bei der ich einen Monat lang jeden Tag ein Foto gemacht habe. これは、1か月間毎日写真を撮るという課題の一部でした。 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. وأتذكر بالضبط أين كنت وماذا كنت أفعل ذلك اليوم. そして、自分がどこにいたのか、その日に何をしていたのかを正確に覚えています。 E me lembro exatamente onde estava e o que estava fazendo naquele dia. I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew. ||me di cuenta||||empecé|||||||||autoestima||aumentó لاحظت أيضًا أنه عندما بدأت في القيام بمزيد من التحديات الصعبة لمدة 30 يومًا ، نمت ثقتي بنفسي. Ich habe auch festgestellt, dass mein Selbstvertrauen wuchs, als ich anfing, mehr und härtere 30-Tage-Herausforderungen zu absolvieren. また、30日間の課題をさらに厳しくし始めると、自信が高まることに気づきました。 Também notei que, à medida que comecei a fazer desafios cada vez mais difíceis de 30 dias, minha autoconfiança aumentou. I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work. |||Schreibtisch|Wohnsitz|||||||||fährt|| |transformed|||sitting||nerd||||||||| ||||життя||||||||||| |me convertí||escritorio|||nerd|||tipo de||tipo|||| ||||||geek de computador||||||||| لقد انتقلت من مكتب الكمبيوتر الذي يذاكر كثيرا إلى ذلك النوع من الرجال الذين يقودون الدراجات للعمل. 私は、デスクに住むコンピューターのオタクから、自転車で通勤する人に転向しました。 Eu fui de nerd de computador que mora em uma mesa para o tipo de cara que vai de bicicleta para o trabalho. For fun! للمتعة! 楽しみに！ Para se divertir! Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. ||||||||montanha ||||||caminando|| حتى العام الماضي ، انتهى بي المطاف بالتسلق فوق جبل.

Bevor ich mit meinen 30-Tage-Herausforderungen begonnen habe, wäre ich nie so abenteuerlustig gewesen. 30日間のチャレンジを始める前に、そんなに冒険したことがなかったでしょう。 Eu nunca teria sido tão aventureiro antes de começar meus desafios de 30 dias.

I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days. ||me di cuenta|descubrí|que||||||muy mal|suficientemente mal|||||| Ich habe auch herausgefunden, dass man 30 Tage lang alles machen kann, wenn man etwas wirklich will. また、本当にひどいことが必要な場合は、30日間何でもできることもわかりました。 Também descobri que, se você realmente deseja muito algo, pode fazer qualquer coisa por 30 dias. Have you ever wanted to write a novel? 小説を書きたいと思ったことはありますか？ 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. ||decenas||miles|||||||||||desde cero|| Jeden November versuchen Zehntausende von Menschen, innerhalb von 30 Tagen einen Roman mit 50 000 Wörtern zu schreiben, und zwar von Grund auf. 毎年11月、数万人が30日間で自分の50,000語の小説をゼロから書こうとしています。 Todo mês de novembro, dezenas de milhares de pessoas tentam escrever seu próprio romance de 50.000 palavras, do zero, em 30 dias.

So I did. Então eu fiz. By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you've written your words for the day. ちなみにその秘訣は、その日の言葉を書くまで寝ないことです。 A propósito, o segredo é não dormir antes de escrever as palavras do dia. You might be sleep-deprived, but you'll finish your novel. ||||entbehrt||||| |||sleeping|||||| ||||privado de sueño||||| ||||позбавлений сну||||| Sie werden vielleicht unter Schlafentzug leiden, aber Sie werden Ihren Roman zu Ende schreiben. 眠れないかもしれませんが、あなたの小説は完成します。 Você pode estar privado de sono, mas terminará seu romance. Now is my book the next great American novel? 私の本は次の素晴らしいアメリカの小説ですか？ Agora, meu livro é o próximo grande romance americano? No. いいえ。 I wrote it in a month. 一ヶ月で書いた。 Escrevi em um mês. It's awful. |horrible それはひどいです。 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.” ||||||||||||||||||||||一位||||||||||||||小說家 ||||||||||||||||||||||||científico computacional|||||||||||| |||||||||||John Hodgman||||||||||||||||||||||||| Aber für den Rest meines Lebens, wenn ich John Hodgman auf einer TED-Party treffe, muss ich nicht sagen: "Ich bin Informatiker".

Não, não, se eu quiser, posso dizer: “Sou romancista”.

So here's one last thing I'd like to mention. |aquí está||||||| だから、ここで私が最後に述べておきたいことがあります。 Então aqui está uma última coisa que eu gostaria de mencionar.

There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. ||malo|||| Es ist nichts falsch an großen, verrückten Herausforderungen. 大きくてクレイジーな挑戦には何も問題はありません。 Não há nada de errado com desafios grandes e malucos.

For the next 30 days. 次の30日間。 Nos próximos 30 dias.
