 Slow but steady is the current prognosis for the housing industry. Housing starts are up for the first seven months of the year, but month-to-month gains have remained flat for the past four months. Meanwhile, requests for single-family permits have declined, which could mean fewer new starts in the months ahead. Nonetheless, builders and housing experts expect the industry will continue to experience modest growth in the second half of the year.

For several years, Detelina Ivanova had been eyeing a rundown house that was for sale on an overgrown, one-acre lot in Vienna, Virginia. Just 1,200 square feet, the 1950s two-bedroom house with one story and a basement had been vacant for 10 years, sinking into deeper disrepair even as larger new houses were replacing other vintage houses in the neighborhood.

How about those Yankees? What about this weather we’ve been having?
Bored yet?
That’s because you’re used to boring, pointless small talk about nothing. It takes up precious time and oxygen that you could be spending more wisely elsewhere.
Or, you could learn how to have more meaningful small talk, and come out of your conversation having gained or given something meaningful. In other words, ditch the chit-chat about how much rain/sun we’ve been having and learn how to have significant conversations with people, even strangers.

Few of us will ever be as productive as Lisa Joy Rosner, who gave birth four times in a single four-year stretch while concurrently launching two high-tech startups. She learned that she was pregnant with her first child the very day she announced the sale of the company that employed her. Becoming a mother was her pivotal moment of personal and career reinvention, precipitating a reevaluation of priorities, and practical changes to become more efficient at planning and execution as an aid to facilitating work-life balance.
