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.

盒子里装的是什么？无论它是什么，都必须是非常重要的，因为我已经和它一起旅行了，把它搬了出来，从公寓到公寓再到公寓。

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.

听起来是不是很熟悉?你知道吗，我们美国人的面积是50年前的三倍？三次。所以你会想，有了这么多的空间，我们就有足够的空间容纳我们所有的东西。不。城里有一个新产业，22亿美元，22亿平方。工业：个人存储。

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.

所以我们有了三倍的空间，但是我们已经成为了很好的顾客，我们需要更多的空间。那么，这意味着什么呢？大量的信用卡债务，巨大的环境足迹，也许不是巧合，我们的幸福水平在过去的50年里是平的。

01:07

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.

我想说的是，有更好的方法，更少的可能实际上等于更多。我敢打赌，我们大多数人都曾在某一时刻体验过少的乐趣：大学——在宿舍里，旅行——在酒店房间里，露营——基本上什么都没有，也许是一艘船。

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.

不管你是什么，我敢打赌，在其他事情中，这给了你更多的自由，多一点时间。所以我想说的是，更少的东西和更少的空间将会等于更小的足迹。这实际上是一种省钱的好方法。它会让你在生活中更轻松一些。

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.

所以我开始了一个叫做lifeedi.org的生活编辑的项目来进一步讨论这个话题，并在这个领域找到一些很好的解决方案。首先是我的420平方。与Mutopo和jovoto。com在曼哈顿的公寓。我想要所有的东西——家庭办公室，坐下来吃10个，给客人的房间，还有我所有的风筝冲浪装备。有来自世界各地的300多个条目，我得到了它，我自己的小珠宝盒。

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.

通过购买一个面积为420平方的空间。我现在节省了200万美元，而不是600美元。较小的空间将会为更小的实用程序提供——节省更多的钱，但也会减少占用空间。因为它是围绕着一套经过编辑的财产——我最喜欢的东西——真正为我设计的，我真的很兴奋能在那里。

02:41

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.

那么，你怎么能活得很少呢？三个主要方法。首先，你必须无情地进行编辑。我们必须清除我们生活中的动脉。那件我多年没穿过的衬衫？我该放手了。我们必须减少我们生活中无关紧要的事情，我们必须学会遏制资金的流入。

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.

我们需要三思而后行。问问我们自己，“这真的会让我更快乐吗？”真的吗?”无论如何，我们应该购买并拥有一些伟大的东西。但我们想要的东西是我们多年来喜欢的，而不仅仅是东西。

03:18

Secondly, our new mantra: small is sexy. We want space efficiency. We want things that are designedfor how they're used the vast majority of the time, not that rare event. Why have a six burner stovewhen 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.

其次，我们的新口号是：小即性感。我们想要空间效率。我们想要的是那些被设计出来的东西，它们在绝大多数时间里是如何被使用的，而不是那种罕见的事件。为什么在你很少使用三次的时候会有一个六灶的炉子呢？所以我们想要的是nest，我们想要的东西堆叠起来，我们想要它数字化。你可以把文书工作，书籍，电影，你可以让它消失——这是魔法。

03:46

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.

最后，我们想要多功能的空间和家居用品——一个水槽和一个马桶，一个餐桌变成了一张床——同样的空间，一个小的侧桌延伸到10号座位。在获奖的生活编辑方案中，我们将一个移动的墙壁和变压器家具结合在一起，以获得大量的空间。

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.

看看咖啡桌——它的高度和宽度都是10号。我的办公室折叠起来，很容易隐藏。我的床用两根手指从墙上蹦出来。客人吗?移动墙壁，有一些折叠式的客床。当然，还有我自己的电影院。

04:28

So I'm not saying that we all need to live in 420 sq. ft. But consider the benefits of an edited life. Go from 3,000 to 2,000, from 1,500 to 1,000. 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?"

所以我并不是说我们都需要生活在420平方米。但是考虑一下编辑过的生活的好处。从3000到2000，从1500到1000。我们中的大多数人，也许是我们所有人，都在这里过着很开心的日子，带着几个包，也许是一个小空间，一个酒店房间。所以，当你回到家，走过你的前门时，花点时间问问自己：“我能做一点生活编辑吗？”这会给我更多的自由吗？也许再多一点时间？”

05:01

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.

盒子里装的是什么？这并不重要。我知道我不需要它。你的是什么?也许，只是也许，更少的可能等于更多。所以，让我们为好东西腾出空间。

05:20

Thank you.
