Tom Scott had a guest video where Kurtis Baute talked about the effect of co2 on cognitive function. It's scary stuff. Spend time outdoors, walking, ideally away from roadways. Open your windows. Probably get some houseplants.

Houseplants consume co2 way too slowly to make any difference, as far as I know.
