Always initiate a #task with an action word (a verb) to provide clarity and empower the audience. For instance, instead of merely stating "product blog post" use a phrase like "draft a blog post about my product". This approach results in more confidence as the required action is clear. Tasks, whether ongoing, completed, or pending, can be broken into actionable steps to delegate effectively, ensuring clarity on the progress toward the ultimate goal. #efficiency #taskmanagement #projectplanning

Bytes Europe · Türkiye could meet 90% of energy needs domestically by 2053: ReportTürkiye could drastically reduce its emissions and almost double its economic gains by 2053 through more ambitious energy efficiency policies, a new report said on Friday. Under the most optimistic assumptions, 90% of Türkiye's energy needs could be met by domestic sources by 2053, which would generate a cumulative economic benefit of $2.1 trillion. That is according to the 'Türkiye Energy Efficiency Outlook 2025' report prepared by Sabancı University's Istanbul International Center for Energy and Climate (IICEC). The report suggests Türkiye's energy future could be fundamentally transformed through stronger efficiency measures. The report contrasts two scenarios: a 'Base Scenario,' which

"This assumption that efficiency is always a good thing is ... incorrect. In a democracy, friction exists for very particular reasons and those are; 1) protection, and 2) stability. Centralised data, and centralised control of data, or ... of anything, is inherently less stable than a decentralised structure."

"The government’s #efficiency requirements originated in 1975, when the concern was an energy shortage, not global warming.

In the decades since, the standards have been widely embraced, dramatically cutting energy and water consumption, reducing emissions and providing plenty of attractive consumer choices."

The transition to LED light bulbs is estimated to have cut energy bills by $3 billion a year and eliminated the need for about 30 large power plants."

Fairness Across the World openaccess.nhh.no/nhh-xmlui/bi
"… the meritocratic #fairness view is not universally accepted, and plays only a marginal role in many countries, especially outside of the Western world.
… #meritocracy is particularly prominent in richer countries
… people’s belief about the source of #inequality is crucial for whether they consider inequality in their society to be fair, but we also establish that these beliefs are particularly important in countries where people endorse the meritocratic fairness views
… It appears plausible that the meritocratic fairness view is conducive to economic #growth
… cross-country differences in #redistribution through taxes and transfers also are associated with differences in fairness views, with more redistribution in countries with a higher share of meritocrats, which highlights the importance of incorporating #heterogeneity in both fairness preferences and beliefs when studying the political economy of redistribution
… people’s view on redistribution is primarily driven by fairness considerations, the perception that inequality in their country is unfair, rather than #efficiency considerations"
