A few years ago, my obsession with productivity
1
12222
2616
Pre nekoliko godina, moja opsednutost produktivnošću
00:14
got so bad that I suffered an episode of burnout
2
14863
3486
toliko se pogoršala, da sam doživela epizodu izgaranja
00:18
that scared the hell out of me.
3
18372
1886
koja me je užasno uplašila.
00:20
I'm talking insomnia, weight gain, hair loss -- the works.
4
20282
3816
Nesanica, gojenje, gubitak kose - ceo paket.
00:24
I was so overworked that my brain
5
24122
2346
Toliko sam mnogo radila
da moj mozak bukvalno nije mogao ništa drugo da smisli.
00:26
literally couldn't come up with another idea.
6
26492
2626
00:29
That indicated to me that my identity was linked with this idea of productivity.
7
29142
4375
To mi je govorilo da je moj identitet povezan sa idejom o produktivnosti.
00:33
[The Way We Work]

[Način na koji radimo]
00:37
Do you feel guilty if you haven't been productive enough during the day?
9
37872
3676
Da li se osećate krivim ako tokom dana niste bili dovoljno produktivni?
00:41
Do you spend hours reading productivity hacks,
10
41572
2316
Provodite li sate čitajući o trikovima za produktivnost,
00:43
trying new frameworks and testing new apps
11
43912
2246
isprobavate nove stvari i testirate nove aplikacije
00:46
to get even more done?
12
46182
1316
da biste uradili još više?
00:47
I've tried them all -- task apps, calendar apps,
13
47522
2741
Ja sam ih sve probala - aplikacije za zadatke, za kalendare,
00:50
time-management apps,
14
50287
1199
za upravljanje vremenom,
00:51
things that are meant to manage your day.
15
51510
1968
stvari koje bi trebalo da upravljaju vašim danom.
00:53
We've been so obsessed with doing more
16
53502
2406
Toliko smo opsednuti time da uradimo više,
00:55
that we've missed the most important thing.
17
55932
2056
da propuštamo najvažniju stvar.
00:58
Many of these tools aren't helping.
18
58012
2216
Mnogi od ovih alata ne pomažu.
01:00
They're making things worse.
19
60252
1766
Samo pogoršavaju stvari.
01:02
OK, let's talk about productivity for a second.
20
62042
2658
Okej, pričajmo malo o produktivnosti.
01:05
Historically, productivity as we know it today
21
65033
2738
Istorijski gledano, produktivnost kakvu danas znamo
01:07
was used during the industrial revolution.
22
67795
2213
korišćena je tokom industrijske revolucije.
01:10
It was a system that measured performance based on consistent output.
23
70032
3756
To je bio sistem koji je merio učinak na osnovu određenog rezultata.
01:13
You clocked into your shift
24
73812
1377
Počeli biste smenu
01:15
and were responsible for creating X number of widgets
25
75213
2555
i bili ste odgovorni za pravljenje X broja stvari
01:17
on the assembly line.
26
77792
1396
na fabričkoj traci.
01:19
At the end of the day, it was pretty easy to see
27
79212
2376
Na kraju dana, bilo je lako videti
01:21
who worked hard and who hadn't.
28
81612
2026
ko je naporno radio, a ko nije.
01:23
When we shifted to a knowledge economy,
29
83662
2196
Kada smo prešli na ekonomiju znanja,
01:25
people suddenly had tasks that were much more abstract,
30
85882
3106
ljudi su odjednom imali zadatke koji su mnogo apstraktniji,
01:29
things like writing, problem-solving or strategizing,
31
89012
2536
kao što su pisanje, rešavanje problema i pravljenje strategija,
01:31
tasks that weren't easy to measure.
32
91572
1846
zadatke koje nije lako meriti.
01:33
Companies struggled to figure out
33
93442
1777
Kompanije su se mučile da shvate
01:35
how to tell who was working and who wasn't,
34
95243
2477
kako da odrede ko radi a ko ne,
01:37
so they just adopted the old systems as best as they could,
35
97744
3794
pa su samo usvojile stare sisteme najbolje što su mogle,
01:41
leading to things like the dreaded time sheet
36
101562
2456
što je dovelo do užasavajućih tabela radnog vremena,
01:44
where everyone is under pressure
37
104042
1916
gde su svi pod pritiskom
01:45
to justify how they spend every second of their day.
38
105982
3086
da opravdaju to kako provode svaku sekundu svog dana.
01:49
There's just one problem.
39
109092
1246
Postoji samo jedan problem.
01:50
These systems don't make a lot of sense for creative work.
40
110362
3190
Ovi sistemi nemaju mnogo smisla kada se radi o kreativnom poslu.
01:54
We still think of productivity as an endurance sport.
41
114131
2837
I dalje o produktivnosti razmišljamo kao o sportu izdržljivosti.
01:56
You try to churn out as many blog posts
42
116992
2116
Pokušavate da izbacite što više postova na blogu
01:59
or we cram our day full of meetings.
43
119132
2626
ili uguravamo previše sastanaka u dan.
02:01
But this model of constant output isn't conducive to creative thought.
44
121782
4056
Ali ovaj model konstantnih rezultata ne odgovara kreativnom razmišljanju.
02:05
Today, knowledge workers are facing a big challenge.
45
125862
3556
Danas, radnici znanja su suočeni sa velikim izazovom.
02:09
We're expected to be constantly productive and creative
46
129442
3596
Stalno se očekuje od nas da budemo produktivni i kreativni
02:13
in equal measure.
47
133062
1515
podjednako.
02:14
But it's actually almost impossible
48
134601
1717
Ali skoro je nemoguće
02:16
for our brains to continuously generate new ideas
49
136342
2456
da naši mozgovi konstantno proizvode nove ideje
02:18
with no rest.
50
138822
1256
bez odmora.
02:20
In fact, downtime is a necessity for our brain
51
140102
3706
U stvari, odmor je neophodan našem mozgu
02:23
to recover and to operate properly.
52
143832
2196
da bi se oporavio i normalno radio.
02:26
Consider that according to a team of researchers
53
146052
2316
Prema jednom timu istraživača
02:28
from the University of Southern California,
54
148392
2336
sa Univerziteta Južne Kalifornije,
02:30
letting our minds wander is an essential mental state
55
150752
3386
dopuštanje da nam misli lutaju je neophodno mentalno stanje
02:34
that helps us develop our identity,
56
154162
2257
koje pomaže da razvijemo identitet,
02:36
process social interactions,
57
156443
1895
obradimo društvene interakcije,
02:38
and it even influences our internal moral compass.
58
158362
3616
i čak utiče na naš unutrašnji moralni kompas.
02:42
Our need for a break flies in the face of our cultural narrative about hustling,
59
162002
4311
Naša potreba za pauzom sudara se sa našim kulturnim narativom o radu,
02:46
in other words, the stories that we as a society
60
166337
2791
drugim rečima, priče koje kao društvo
02:49
tell each other about what success looks like
61
169152
2366
pričamo jedni drugima o tome kako uspeh izgleda
02:51
and what it takes to get there.
62
171542
1486
i šta je potrebno da se do njega dođe.
02:53
Stories like the American Dream,
63
173052
1676
Priče kao one o američkom snu,
02:54
which is one of our most deeply rooted beliefs.
64
174752
2896
što je jedno od naših najjačih verovanja.
02:57
This tells us that if we work hard, we'll be successful.
65
177672
3196
Govori da ako naporno radimo, bićemo uspešni.
03:00
But there's a flip side.
66
180892
1526
Ali ima i druga strana.
03:02
If you aren't successful,
67
182442
1886
Ako niste uspešni,
03:04
it must mean that you're not working hard enough.
68
184352
3576
znači da ne radite dovoljno naporno.
03:07
And if you don't think you're doing enough,
69
187952
2266
A ako ne mislite da radite dovoljno,
03:10
of course you're going to stay late, pull all-nighters
70
190242
2656
naravno da ćete ostajati kasno, raditi po celu noć,
03:12
and push yourself hard even when you know better.
71
192922
2656
i ulagaćete napor čak i kad znate da to nije dobro.
03:15
Productivity has wrapped itself up in our self-worth,
72
195602
2966
Produktivnost se ušuškala u našu procenu sopstvene vrednosti,
03:18
so that it's almost impossible for us to allow ourselves
73
198592
3256
pa je skoro nemoguće da dozvolimo sebi
03:21
to stop working.
74
201872
1208
da prestanemo da radimo.
03:23
The average US employee only takes half of their allocated paid vacation leave,
75
203104
4794
Prosečan američki radnik uzima samo pola svog godišnjeg odmora,
03:27
further proving that even if we have the option
76
207922
2326
što dodatno dokazuje da čak i kad imamo opciju
03:30
to take a break, we don't.
77
210272
2416
da napravimo pauzu, mi to ne činimo.
03:32
To be clear, I don't think that productivity
78
212712
2466
Da razjasnim, ne mislim da su produktivnost
03:35
or trying to improve our performance is bad.
79
215202
2406
ili pokušaji da budemo bolji loša stvar.
03:37
I'm just saying that the current models we're using to measure our creative work
80
217632
4036
Govorim da sadašnji modeli koje koristimo da merimo svoju kreativnost
03:41
don't make sense.
81
221692
1243
nemaju smisla.
03:42
We need systems that work with our creativity
82
222959
2349
Potrebni su nam sistemi koji rade u korist kreativnosti,
03:45
and not against it.
83
225332
1302
a ne protiv nje.
03:46
[SO HOW DO WE FIX IT?]
84
226658
1230
[Kako to da popravimo?]
03:47
There is no quick fix for this problem.
85
227912
2316
Za ovaj problem nema brzog rešenja.
03:50
And I know, I know, that sucks.
86
230252
1706
Znam, znam, to je bez veze.
03:51
No one loves a good framework or a good acronym
87
231982
2796
Niko ne voli dobar sistem ili dobar akronim
03:54
better than me.
88
234802
1159
više od mene.
03:55
But the truth is everyone has their own narratives
89
235985
3063
Ali istina je da svako ima svoju priču
03:59
that they have to uncover.
90
239072
1346
koju mora da otkrije.
04:00
It wasn't until I started digging around my own beliefs around work
91
240442
3306
Tek kad sam počela da kopam po svojim uverenjima o poslu,
04:03
that I began to unravel the root of my own work story,
92
243772
3542
počela sam da otkrivam korene sopstvene priče o poslu,
04:07
finally being able to let go of destructive behaviors
93
247338
2940
i konačno sam mogla da napustim destruktivna ponašanja
04:10
and make positive, long-lasting changes.
94
250302
2516
i napravim pozitivne, dugotrajne promene.
04:12
And the only way to do that
95
252842
1490
A jedini način da to uradimo
04:14
is by asking yourself some hard questions.
96
254356
3092
je da postavimo sebi teška pitanja.
04:17
Does being busy make you feel valuable?
97
257472
2236
Da li zauzetost čini da se osećate vrednim?
04:19
Who do you hold up as an example of success?
98
259732
2506
Ko vam je uzor uspeha?
04:22
Where did your ideas of work ethic come from?
99
262262
2342
Odakle su potekle vaše ideje o radnoj etici?
04:24
How much of who you are is linked to what you do?
100
264628
3220
Koliko je vaš identitet povezan sa onim što radite?
04:27
Your creativity, it has its own rhythms.
101
267872
2656
Vaša kreativnost ima svoje ritmove.
04:30
Our energy fluctuates daily, weekly, even seasonally.
102
270552
3716
Naša energija fluktuira tokom dana, nedelja, čak i sezona.
04:34
I know that I'm always more energetic at the beginning of the week
103
274292
3156
Znam da uvek imam više energije na početku nedelje,
04:37
than at the end,
104
277472
1150
nego na kraju,
04:38
so I front-load my workweek to account for that fact.
105
278646
2642
pa svoj posao tako organizujem uzimajući to u obzir.
04:41
As a proud night owl, I free up my afternoons and evenings
106
281312
3116
Kao ponosna noćna ptica, oslobađam svoja popodneva i večeri
04:44
for creative work.
107
284452
1170
za kreativne poslove.
04:45
And I know I'll get more writing done
108
285646
1841
I znam da ću uspeti da napišem više
04:47
in the cozy winter months than during the summer.
109
287511
2607
tokom udobnih zimskih meseci nego tokom leta.
04:50
And that's the secret.
110
290142
1286
I u tome je tajna.
04:51
Dismantling myths, challenging your old views,
111
291452
2936
Razbijanje mitova, preispitivanje naših starih uverenja,
04:54
identifying your narratives --
112
294412
1434
identifikovanje naših priča -
04:55
this is the real work that we need to be doing.
113
295870
2868
to je pravi posao koji treba da uradimo.
04:58
We aren't machines,
114
298762
1438
Nismo mašine,
05:00
and I think it's time that we stopped working like one.
115
300224
2698
i mislim da treba da prestanemo da radimo kao da jesmo.
