Harvey>>>Texas & Louisiana

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that the devastating impact of Harvey — a one-time category 4 hurricane which has yet to dissipate — had created "a new and different normal for this entire region.” It was a warning, the New York Times reports, "against expecting anything resembling recovery any time soon." Ten deaths have been attributed to the storm and thousands have been rescued, but the Coast Guard says they are still receiving 1,000 calls an hour. Thousands are in shelters, "but the painstaking and heartbreaking work of clearing streets, going door to door, assessing damage — and finding victims — has not yet begun," the Times says. Water continues to rise in Houston, CNN reports, and another 15 inches of rain is expected. ? Share your thoughts: #Harvey

Idea of the Day: When it comes to “work-life” balance “the scales simply can’t be even,” says best-selling author Dave Crenshaw. Instead, you should focus on thinking about your time like you do balancing your finances. In other words: Underspend your time to tip the scale “towards a happy and productive life.”

“Unlike money, you can’t borrow or earn more time... That sometimes means saying no to things. It can also mean positive procrastination—putting things off that we don’t need to do right away.
