I want to emphasize this one. When I'm on deadline, I am amazing at avoiding distractions and as a result, I'm super productive. When the deadline is far out, I yield to distractions. Avoiding distractions is a key way for me to

There is no mention of hydrogen fuel cells which can be co2-free. I like the idea of electrofuels But we have a long, long way to go (as well as a long way to go on competitively-priced green hydrogen).
