How to adjust microwave cooking times?

On microwave cooking directions, it always gives a reference wattage. If my microwave differs from the directions (as I'm sure most do), how do I adjust my settings? Do I change time or power?
For example, I'm cooking something that says 10 minutes at full power and 14 at 50% for a 1000W microwave. Mine's a 1.65kW. That's a lot more. Should I adjust the power or the time... or both?
