でも、私が役に立ったと思うことをいくつか挙げてみただけなんだ。
Andpeopledon't likeitwhen I tellthem, youknowwhat, I cutoutTVfrommylife.
そして、私がテレビを生活から切り離したと言うと、みんな嫌がるんだ。
Sincemyfirstyearofmedicalschool, I set a ruleformyselfand I'vestillstuckwiththatrule, whichisthat I amnotallowedtowatchTVonmyown.
When I wasinhighschool, I usedtowatch a lotofTVonmyown.
高校生の頃、ひとりでよくテレビを見ていた。
I wouldwatchlikethreehoursofTVeverysinglefrickingday.
毎日3時間くらいテレビを見ていたよ。
Anditamazesmehowmuchofmytime I squanderedwhen I wasyounger.
そして、若い頃にどれだけ時間を浪費したことか。
Butsinceuniversitystartedand I realised, actually I wantedtojuggleloadsofthings.
でも、大学が始まってから、実はいろいろなことをこなしたいと思うようになったんだ。
I wantedtosocialise, I wantedtoseefriends, wantedtotrynewhobbiesandsports, alsobuild a businessontheside, whichwaslater a YouTubechannel, whilegettingthroughmedschoolanddoingreasonablywellintheexams.
私は社交的でありたかったし、友人に会いたかったし、新しい趣味やスポーツに挑戦したかった。
Andthenwhen I startedworkingas a doctor, I realisedwatchingTVonmyownisjust a totaltimedrainand a totaltimesink.
Inmyfirstyearofuni, I decidedtodoanexperimentwhere I wouldn't watchTVonmyown.
大学1年生のとき、自分ひとりでテレビを見ないという実験をすることにした。
And I madeit a pointtocheckinwithmyselfeveryfewmonthstosee, towhatextentdo I missthetimespentwatchingTV?
そして、数カ月に一度、テレビを見ていた時間がどの程度懐かしいか、自分自身と確認するようにした。
And I realised I didn't missitatall.
そして、私は全然寂しくないことに気づいた。
I realisedthatinsteadofusingthattimewatchingTV, I couldusethattimetotryandlearnJapaneseortotryandworkonsomewebsitesortotryandspendmoretimewithmyfriends, orevenjusttostudy a bitmoreefficientlybydoingflashcardsthroughouttheyear.
Theway I thinkaboutchoresisthatthereareallthesethingsthatwehavetodoinordertomaintainourlife, likecookingandcleaningandlaundryandadminandreturningparcelsandthingslikethat.
Now, thiswas a lotharderformetodowhen I was a studentand I wasn't makinganymoneyatall.
学生時代、まったくお金を稼げなかった私には、これはかなり難しいことだった。
Butwhen I startedworkingas a doctorandsuddenlyunlockedtheabilitytodolocumshifts, whichareextrashifts, I waslike, huh, okay, somyhourlyrateisnow 40 poundsanhour.
I couldalwaysdoanextrahourofworkandmake 40 poundsanhour.
私はいつでも1時間余分に仕事をして、時給40ポンドを稼ぐことができる。
Cool, I don't reallyenjoycleaning.
掃除はあまり好きじゃないんだ。
Cleaningtakestwohours a week.
掃除は週に2時間。
Could I hire a cleaner?
清掃員を雇うことはできますか?
I realised, yeah, I couldhire a cleanerwhowouldrockupeverytwoweeks, wouldcleanfortwohours.
そうだ、2週間ごとに来て2時間掃除してくれる清掃員を雇えばいいんだ。
Thatcleanerwouldcharge I think 30 poundsforthetwohourseveryotherweek.
そのクリーニング屋は隔週で2時間、30ポンドは取ると思う。
I waslike, damn, so I'm abletospend 60 pounds a monthandmyhouseisjustcleanbydefault.
月60ポンド(約8万円)で家がきれいになるんだ。
I don't needtothinkaboutit.
考えるまでもない。
Whoa, that's cool.
おっ、クールだね。
