Welcome back! What’s the opposite of inbox zero? Whatever it’s called, that’s what I have with more than 73,000 emails currently staring at me. Siemens CEO told BI he keeps his inbox below 100 emails (I’m amazed!) thanks to two-word replies. Find out what those are and how else he structures his day.

Fresh off a breakup, about to turn 30, and ready to pivot to real estate, Dustin Chaveleh wanted to feel more energized and live healthier.

So he worked with a personal trainer and made three simple changes that are now a part of his lifestyle. His new principles helped him stay healthy and gave him an advantage when he launched a new career.

Within a few months, he noticed a major difference.

More than a quarter of moms in their 20s expect to have their next child in two to five years, CDC data shows. But that figure drops below 10% for moms in their 30s. 

Waiting between kids can ease childcare costs, career disruptions, and parenting stress — but for parents starting families later, fertility concerns can make that breathing room harder to take.

David Morris and his mom went on a 10-day cruise around Australia’s remote Kimberley coast. They bought the least expensive guarantee fare — $9,000 each — which meant their cabin would be assigned shortly before boarding.

After Patti and Gary Christie retired, they wanted to move to Fairfield, Connecticut, to be closer to their daughter and grandkids. Still, they weren’t thrilled about the houses they could afford there.

Their daughter came up with a better solution: She built them a 725-square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in her backyard.

Now, they live steps away from their grandkids.
