    Transportation
    It takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. How have you used technology to replace in-person meetings or work this year?

    I work about 1 hour away, each way. Teleworking helps the environment, employees, families, work life balance, and employee satisfaction.

    If I haven't used something in 6months, then I should contemplate getting rid of it. I should give it away or donat it if it's still in good shape.

    Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.
