By the end of this summer, I knew my trains were not running at full speed. But what had happened? How did I get off course? Even ultra productive people can have seasons that get the better of them. I can't believe how much I accomplished in spite of feeling less productive.  It was one of those seasons where one project led to another and no other area of life helped the situation. 2024: The Year of Overcommitting It all started in February with Joey's condo needing new plumbing, which led to the perfect time to redo his shower. Then Abby's shower was suspected to have mold and that meant another bathroom remodel. And if we were opening that can of worms, then we wanted to add on an official bedroom for our giant toddler grandchild, Grayson. This kid needed a bigger bed and his own little apartment within his mom's apartment. And while we were doing all of that, it just made sense to give Abby a proper kitchen, minus an oven. Which meant we needed to upgrade our electrical panel for the house. All these projects were supposed to be completed in time for Greg and I's trip to Europe. But you know, permits and whatever, it kept getting delayed. So we decided to take care of all of Abby's stuff when we got back. Who wants to be in contact with a contractor while on vacation? Not me!  And then there was school demanding more of my time. And a little extra pressure from my family. I had started to do school work at the office because “little baby Grayson” now knows that if my car is home, Lovie is home. And normally Greg wouldn't care if I was not home because he'd be golfing. But due to shoulder surgery in December, he wasn't playing golf. Needless to say, everyone was verbal about noticing I wasn't home as much. I also may have had 3 classes this summer instead of 2 like I'd done in the past; I want to get through this PhD already! I like when my time is at my discretion. I had this productivity debt starting to accumulate and no time to make any of it up, even at work. I could not catch a break!  And believe it or not, we decided to do a little something to our own kitchen, treat Grayson to a playground set for his birthday, which obviously meant a fence, but first we had to take down a shed and a tree. And I was so excited when WOW Window Boxes were at Homearama, we got one of those, too! Like, who am I coordinating all of these projects that normally would have taken me 4 years? It felt good to take some things off the “some day list.” What I Did I give myself credit for prioritizing tasks this whole time and knowing what can wait. And nightly planning of the most important tasks that need to be accomplished the next day. I exercised planned neglect, like eating out during the kitchen “remodeling” in my kitchen. And ruthlessly going through my calendar. And once you have survived one of these challenging seasons, the trick is to reflect and realize how much stronger you are because of it. Realize the lessons. Blessings Upon reflection of this season, I was overwhelmed with the amount of blessings this season provided. I'm very blessed in my life and that is not lost on me. These were all blessings slowing me down and it's a season I'm happy to be coming out of so I can get back to being ultra productive.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution Friday Workbox® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

They both agree that so much was learned over the years by being involved in the HBA, learning from others in the industry, and being with other builders with diverse thoughts and ages. Fellow builders were able to help each other out; older generations guided the younger generation, teaching them leadership skills and motivating them to be with their peers/competitors and, forming friendships and having fun!Many stories were shared by both how their friendship grew over the years and how they would lean on each other for advice in times of struggle in both life and business.

For better or worse, wallpaper is back. In a big way too! In this year's Homearama home tour, many of the homes feature wallpaper.Reporter Eleanor Tolbert shared what else she learned in her Homearama preview. One theme was clear: In a post-pandemic world, interior design is focused on comfort and community.“We all had to sit in our homes for a year, and now people are like, ‘If I'm going to be in my home, I want it to be a space I want to be in,'” Tolbert told on this week's Access Louisville podcast.We also discuss two recent closures in Louisville's food scene. Breadworks, a locally owned bakery chain, announced it was closing its three locations for good. Plans are already in the works for a new concept in the Douglass Loop location. Over on the sunny side of the Ohio River (Southern Indiana), a Louisville-based brewery has closed its New Albany location. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

I later received my LSW in 2008. At the age of 42, my soul started searching for "Peace" and "Tranquility". My life up until that point had been anything but. I was sexually abused by a family member at a young age, became fatherless at the age of 12 due to my father leaving my mother and refusing to care for us, had two children before graduating from high school and a total of four children by the time I was 25. As a young single mother of four, I struggled to provide for my children and relied on public assistance. “Peace” and “Tranquility” were definitely not a part of my world. Like I stated above, I was desperately in search of “Peace” and “Tranquility," even though I had no idea what they would look like in my life filled with strife and turmoil. But I began to search and started looking to the sky. That is where I found the “Peace” and “Tranquility” I was searching for. I created artistic photos from the sky and used them to create a “Healing Journal”. My pictures began to open new doors, a new way of thinking and seeing the world around me.

A custom builder and remodeler, Joe Pusateri thrives on challenge and using his talents to the best of his ability. Pusateri counts his parents holding all of their children to a high standard as the beginning of his leadership style. He founded Elite Homes in 1976, specializing in the design, building, and remodeling of custom homes. In November of 2007, his company was responsible for building a home for the television show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” The home was specially designed and built for musician Patrick Henry Hughes. He served as president of the Home Builder’s Association in Louisville twice and was responsible for bringing Homearama to the Smoketown neighborhood, building the first new homes there in 50 years. He led the Chamber of Commerce’s Inaugural Business Expo to become the largest chamber-sponsored trade show in the nation. Pusateri is a board member of Greater Louisville, Incorporated. He rescued the Louisville Orchestra from bankruptcy in 2003, and in 2006, he negotiated a new five-year agreement with the musicians union, which stabilized the orchestra’s finances. He is also a motivational speaker.

Robin Hobb once said, “Home is people. Not a place. If you go back there after the people are gone, then all you can see is what is not there any more.”  Maybe... but it sure would be a whole lot more fun (alone) in a Homearama home!  Dan Dressman would probably agree.  His organization, HBA of Greater Cincinnati, has been hosting Homearama and other similar events for over 50 years.  In this episode we'll get the back story of Homearama.  We'll also learn about all the other things that the HBA does for and with area builders.
