Computational time can be saved by calculating the shieldings only for carbon atoms instead of all atoms.
How to do so is described in the ORCA manual.

5. The experimental :sup:`17`\ O- and :sup:`13`\ C-NMR chemical shifts of the carbonyl function in acetone are shifted by

-75.5 and 18.9 ppm, respectively, if an acetone molecule is transferred from the gas phase to aqueous solution.
Try to reproduce these values by considering solvation effects by the implicit solvent model CPCM. You can switch on
the implicit solvent by adding the ``CPCM(<solvent>)`` keyword (example: ``CPCM(toluene)``) to your ORCA input.
For carbon, the reference is TMS, for oxygen it is water.
