So how can you live little? Three main approaches.

主に3つのアプローチがある。

First of all, you have to edit ruthlessly.

まず第一に、徹底的に無駄を省くことが必要だ。

We've got to clear the arteries of our lives.

生活スペースをきれいにするんだ。

And that shirt that I hadn't worn in years? It's time for me to let it go.

もう何年も着ていないシャツは？もう手放す時だ。

We've got to cut the extraneous out of our lives, and we've got to learn to stem the inflow.

人生から余計なものを切り離し、流入を食い止めることを学ばなければならない。

We need to think before we buy.

買う前に考える必要がある。

Ask ourselves, "Is that really going to make me happier? Truly?" By all means, we should buy and own some great stuff.

それは本当に私を幸せにしてくれるのか？本当に？" ぜひとも、素晴らしいものを買って所有すべきだ。

But we want stuff that we're going to love for years, not just stuff.

しかし、ただモノを買うのではなく、何年も愛用できるモノが欲しいのだ。

Secondly, our new mantra: small is sexy.

第2に、私たちの新しいマントラ：スモール・イズ・セクシー。

We want space efficiency.

私たちはスペース効率を重視する。

We want things that are designed for how they're used the vast majority of the time, not that rare event.

ごく稀にしか使わないものでなく、大半の時間をどのように使うかを想定して設計されたものが欲しいのだ。

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.

めったに3口しか使わないのに、なぜ6口コンロなのか？だから、収納できるもの、積み重ねられるもの、デジタル化されたものが欲しい。

You can take paperwork, books, movies, and you can make it disappear -- it's magic.

書類、本、映画、それらを消し去ることができる。
それは魔法だ。

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.

最後に、私たちは多機能なスペースや家財道具を望んでいる。洗面台がトイレと一体化したり、ダイニングテーブルがベッドになったり、同じスペースで小さなサイドテーブルが10人掛けになったり。

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.

このレンダリングで受賞したLife Editedの設計では、動く壁と変形家具を組み合わせることで、スペースを最大限に活用している。

Look at the coffee table -- it grows in height and width to seat 10.

コーヒーテーブルを見てください。高さも幅も伸びて、10人が座れるようになっています。

My office folds away, easily hidden.

私のオフィスは折りたたんで簡単に隠せる。

My bed just pops out of the wall with two fingers.

ベッドは指2本で壁から飛び出す。

Guests? Move the moving wall, have some fold-down guest beds.

ゲストは？可動式の壁を移動して、折り畳み式のゲスト用ベッドを用意すればいい

And of course, my own movie theater.

もちろん、私専用の映画館も。

So I'm not saying that we all need to live in 420 sq. ft.

だから、私たち全員が420平方フィートの広さに住む必要があるとは言わない。

But consider the benefits of an edited life.

しかし、簡素化された生活の利点を考えてみてほしい。

Go from 3,000 to 2,000, from 1,500 to 1,000.

3,000から2,000へ、1,500から1,000へ。

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.

私たちの大半は、恐らく全員が、2、3個のバッグを持ち、小さなスペース、ホテルの一室で何日も楽しくここにいる。

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?

だから、家に帰り、玄関をくぐったら、ちょっと時間をとって、自分自身に問いかけてみてほしい。

Would that give me a little more freedom? Maybe a little more time?"

そうすることで、もう少し自由になれるだろうか？もう少し時間があるだろうか？

What's in the box? It doesn't really matter.

箱の中身は何だろう？そんなことはどうでもいい。

I know I don't need it.

私には必要ない。

What's in yours?

あなたの中身は？

Maybe, just maybe, less might equal more.

もしかしたら、より少ないものが、より多くのものになるかもしれない。

So let's make room for the good stuff.

だから、いいものを入れる場所を作ろう。

Thank you.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
