Recently I’ve been reading the book Deep Work, by Cal Newport.

There’s one common goal that connects us all: we’re all trying to get more things done in less time. It’s a busy time. We’re trying to get somewhere faster, we’re trying to learn more things faster, and we’re constantly chasing close deadlines. How do we achieve everything?

No more time wasted traveling to the office, no more distractions, just eco-friendly choices and increased productivity.
