There are certain social media rules we can all agree on: Ghosting a conversation is impolite, and replying k to a text is the equivalent of a backhand slap (violent, wrong, and rude). But what about the rest of the rules? When can we really remind someone of our old Venmo request? What happens when someone tries to flirt with you on LinkedIn?Fortunately, terminally online writers Delia Cai and Steffi Cao are here to answer all your digital quandaries, big or small. Welcome to Fast Companys advice column, Posting Playbook. This week, Steffi tackles the problem of what to do when your boss keeps lurking on your profiles.My manager stalks my socials so much and it makes me uncomfortable. Hes always one of the first people to watch my stories. Should I block him?There was once a time where an overzealous managers behavior ended with a lot of personal questions over cups of eggnog at the office holiday party, but in the social media era, we must now also contend with the fan behavior a manager can exhibit on your socials. Ive also been in the situation where this exact behavior has been both innocuous and also something more insidious, so I very much understand the fear of it being the latter. Ive also been the person to repeatedly watch an acquaintances story minutes after they post, which always prompts me to scream a string of cuss words because now theyre going to think Im a fan.Still, instances like these can easily spark anxieties about if and how your personal life could bleed into work. The last thing anyone wants to hear is, you seem a bit slow to respond today, is it because you were at the bar last night? Even if your manager is the sweetest person in the office, and is just viewing because they think youre cool, it can definitely be awkward to post a photo of the concert you went to last night and have the first viewer be someone youre going to see in a team meeting at 9 a.m. the next morning.My first line of defense has always been the off-Slack group chat with work friends that I trust to share these things. Theyre the ones who will be able to tell you if hes just excited because he just thinks your life is super awesome and aesthetic, or if hes being weird, since they have the same context of this person as you. Keep this group chat off the company computers, too. Company communication channels are only for sharing things youd be comfortable saying in front of HR, because thats effectively what youre doing.The second course of action is to mute. Mute him from seeing your Stories, your posts, whatever else. If it really is an innocent thing that boils down to admiration or algorithm, he probably wont notice if your digital activity suddenly drops off the face of the planet. Hes just there to see content, and there will always be content to see. You can live your life in peace, and no one will be the wiser. On the other hand, if it is more intentional and he does notice that your posts have disappeared from his feed, hed have to bring it up to you in person, which unequivocally makes him the weirdo. And thats easy to nip in the budyou can easily draw the boundary with some really professional language like, Oh, I dont really know, is this appropriate to talk about at work? Muting is also great because if you determine that the viewing motivation is innocent, you can just unmute, and bask in the fact that your boss thinks youre pretty chic and glamorous. And really, isnt that what we all hope for when we post on social media?My work crush responds to my Instagram Stories with a lot of fire and 100 emojis. Does this count as flirting?Yes. Yes it does. I am sending breaking news to everyone that is platonically sending fire emojis: You are flirting. Especially if its in response to a photo of the poster. I dont make the rules. But is this a bad thing? Not really! I mean, unless youre in a relationship with someone where you know it would be an issue, but thats an entirely different problem.However, for all of us who are free to send emojis without guilt, youre probably just a naturally flirtatious person. It doesnt mean anything has to happen. It doesnt mean you have to change your behavior. It just means that youre flirting. What is flirting but talking with charisma? Rizz is a scarce resource these days, so it needs to be celebrated where it can. Bring back flirting! Im not talking about corny lines and premeditated moves, either. Im talking about real rizz. Real joie de vivre, the kind of conversation that is airy and complimentary and fizzles with interest.As for the reader, the same rule applies. Yes, I think its flirting, but it doesnt mean anything has to happen. Your work crush thinks your content is fire and 100! Thats a win for you. The beauty of this is that its not really that serious until it is. For now, its just emojis.

When food gets tossed into landfills, it lays there festering, releasing more methane than any other type of trash. And while methane stays in the atmosphere for less time than carbon dioxide, its 80 times more toxic over 20 years, producing emissions that are literally killing the planet.I know this. Ive edited countless stories that include some version of this sentence to illustrate how grotesque our consumption is, how oppressive the waste has become.And yet, still, I throw coffee grounds every morning in my cheap plastic IKEA trash bin. An hour later, I toss in eggshells, some spinach thats gone bad; at lunch, I put in a used lime that I squeezed on my salad, cilantro stems, the rest of the spinach that somehow got even worse in the past two hours.I feel bad every time. But never quite bad enough.Theres a compost bin less than 100 steps from my kitchen counter and yet its rare that I tote anything out there. It feels like a hassle, I dont want all the gunk in the bin, surely it would smell terrible, I think, scarred by my moms composting commitment that includes a massive gray countertop container, forever flecked with old coffee, bananas, onion skins.These are all bad excuses, but here I am.I edit climate content for a living, and I still dont do one of the easiest, cheapest, most basic tasks to help stave off emissions and absolute climate disaster. Its laziness, certainly, but also a sort of hopeless futility: Do a few eggshells tossed in one bin instead of another actually make a difference?I think about my Old Navy coat, and the chicken in my fridge, and the steak I had a few months ago because dinner was free and not eating it would have felt like a waste. Im not all bad. I dont eat that much meat, I dont buy that many clothes, I try to reuse things, I drive a hybrid, I recycle, I walk a lot. Its a shitty list, I know. But I find myself thinking about all of it in the weeks following Donald Trumps election, in the wake of results that will likely torpedo the important but not nearly significant enough climate progress weve made over the past four years. I am overwhelmed by the number of things that have to changeby me, by everyoneto make a difference, and yet I am a bit more resolved. I can change a few of them.I am still enraged when corporations try to foist the burden for reduce reuse recycle onto consumers. We dont bring water automatically, the California restaurants say even as almond farms and Saudi conglomerates bleed the land dry. No plastic straws here! Cities proudly proclaim, even as their recycling programs are shit and their governments slow-walk real progress. Take vacations that dont require a flight! were advised, even as private jet use accelerates and the richest 1% are responsible for 16% of global emissions.Of course consumers have a role, but its a drop in the bucket compared to what grocery stores and fashion lines and Ford and Target and Exxon and Delta and Chase and truly fill in the blank with any conglomerate could and should be doing. Foisting the burden onto consumers is offensive and it shifts attention from all the ways these companies are destroying the climate.But in the wake of the election, where Trump is almost certain to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement, where a fracking executive will be the next Energy Secretary, where companies are dumping their net-zero pledges, its becoming clear that were going to have to do a lot of the heavy lifting ourselves. We should expect more of our governments, absolutely. But even Biden, with the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, allowed more oil and gas drilling than Trump, and signed off on logging old-growth forests in Oregon.When Jeff Bezos ended the Washington Posts decades-long practice of endorsing a presidential candidate, 200,000 people canceled their subscriptions. Its a valid response to a position that was abhorrent. But where were the people canceling their Amazon subscriptions? Not nearly as vocal, thats for sure. Donald Trump is incompatible with climate progressbut so is Amazon. So is our food consumption and our fast fashion obsession and our water bottle usage and our AI worship, and so many other daily choices that make our lives easier and cheaper.There was a glimmer of hope during the Biden years that the government could jump-start a clean economy. But even that faltered. And while it feels like companies wont change unless the government forces them to, the reality is we have more power than we think. If just 3% of people in the U.S. made buying decisions based on a companys climate action, one expert says it would send shockwaves through the market system.No one is coming to save the environment, and so we must. I must change myself. So Im going to try. Im going to try to eat (way) less meat, Im going to get real comfortable with vintage shops, Im going to stop buying from Amazon (again). It is not revolutionary, I know, and many many many people are already doing these things and so much more. But Im writing this as a challenge to myself, and hopefully to some other lefties out there who wanted the onus to be on governments and corporations. Who voted for people they believed would implement real change and have been consistently disappointed.This isnt a call to capitulate. We must demand more from our leaders. But until that happens, I think we have to start being leaders ourselves. We must, as they say, vote with our wallets until we can vote again at the ballot box: Buy local, shop farmers markets, support companies that are making real strides at sustainabilitynot just greenwashing.If you live in a red state (where much of the IRA funding has gone!), call your representatives and say you want them to keep backing clean energy. Demand that the EV tax credit stays in place. Take a good look at your bathroom and kitchen counters and find three things with plastic packaging you could swap out; next month, find three more. Get creative: Figure out what works for you, what small changes you can make now, and start there.For me, at least, Im going to start taking my veggie scraps outside.

As a professional organizer, I practice what I preach. Ive developed a few strategies and routines to declutter and keep my place organized, so I can find what I need when I need it, and to put it back just as effortlessly.What I notice about myself and a lot of other people is that were holding onto things for one of two reasons: either we think were going to need it someday, or were really attached to how it came into our life in the first place.Theres an interesting thing at play here. We want to declutter and downsize, make better use of our space, or were just tired of looking at things that dont bring meaning and purpose into our lives. At the same time, we stay tied to the emotional reason for wanting to keep this thing in our lives. Those reasons take precedence, keeping us from taking any real action on the stuff that carries these emotional ties. A study at UCLAs Center on Everyday Lives and Families found that women who had a lot of household objects also had more of the stress hormone cortisol.Most of us live in communities surrounded by a plethora of public storage spaces. There are thousands of these facilities around the country, which I call the land of emotional mismanagement, because theyre filled with the things that we think we may need someday or that we cant emotionally let go of.Rethink your relationship to your stuffFor a long time, I would think about how hard it was to declutter and let go of a particular item because, as I told myself, I loved it. Living in a small space sort of forced me to rethink my relationship to my stuff in my space.It took some time to work on it, but I landed on this: I cannot possibly love everything in my home. And so I had to come up with a way to think differently about my stuff. I discovered that more important than how much I loved a thing was how well it served my life, giving the thing more substance than, but I love it.Because Im selfish, I want everything in my home to serve me. That means that Im always looking to get rid of stuff. For example, if I purchase a face-care product and after the first two uses, realize its not something Ill continue using, I let it go into the trash or recycle bin or donation pile. Why give away precious real estate to something Im not using?I also devised a game called, Clear just 10, then do it again. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by stuff, I spend about 30 minutes to declutter by gathering up 10 items that I know I dont need. Last week I cleared five pens and five scarves. Categories dont matter, volume does.I get that this is hard. I am a professional organizer, so I work with a lot of people who have a really hard time letting go of stuff, and a lot of that has to do with our emotional relationship to that stuff. Even the decluttering impresario Marie Kondo admits to failing to be tidy sometimes.Practice one comes in, one comes outI live in a one-bedroom, 650-square-foot apartment, and Ive decided its plenty of space for me and the things I need. I have enough space because I practice the principle that whenever something comes in, something has to come out.This strategy ensures that my possessions remain proportional to my space. Clutter does not start in the home, rather, it starts just before I bring the stuff through my front door. One of my biggest rules to declutter is that whatever I bring into my home has to have a home of its own (wheres it going to live?).Put everything in your home in a zoneGoing along with one of my biggest rules that every item in my home should have a designated zone, I organize my stuff into categories of like with like. Office supplies are in one bin. Scarves (the ones I kept) another bin. And of course, the zone for donations is the bag by my front door. I maintain each zone by not overfilling the bins. If the contents arent clear, I stick a label on it.Create a calendar of habitsThis may sound odd but I make dates with myself to maintain all my organizing habits. Friday afternoon is my business-of-business time. For three to four hours on a Friday afternoon, Ill file paperwork, pay any bills that came in that week, and make a list to send to my assistant for any website changes. When I containerize my dayput that thing on the calendar to help maintain my quality of lifeIm a lot more productive.Staying organized isnt about being perfect or following strict rulesits about finding systems that work for me. By letting go of things that dont serve me, being intentional about what I bring into my home, and sticking to a few simple habits, Ive created a space that feels lighter and more functional.Its not always easy, and sometimes its emotional, but the effort is worth it. My home reflects my priorities and supports my life in a way that feels good. Ive learned that my space should work for me, not the other way around.

There are probably two kinds of people in the world when it comes to robots: those who think that its more convenient to have them around and those who are scared that they might become our overlords someday, just like in those sci-fi movies. If youre somewhere in the former camp or at least in between the two, youre not surprised or afraid that we see them take on more tasks that actual humans previously did. Designer: Chang Do OhHuman caddies have been long-time companions of golfers everywhere. Rarely do you see a golfer who does everything for themselves as a caddie usually accompanies them and assists them as they play on the green. This concept called Goalf replaces that human caddie with a robot caddie even as golf courses are also getting the smartization treatment. Aside from the fact that it wont get tired, this robot is also optimized to help players achieve their golfing goals, hence the name goalf. Aside from following the golfer around and handing them their golf clubs, this caddie can also recommend which club to use in certain situations. It looks like those information robots going around malls and airports but instead of just providing you with facts, you actually get to utilize the smart features of your robo caddie to improve your game. The renders also show a screen which will probably give you information about your statistics like handicap, swing, etc. Golfers develop a pretty close relationship with their regular human caddies so this may be something that Goalf may not be able to do, unless it uses AI as well to converse with the player. But its an interesting concept to explore and will probably be more common in the future. Heres hoping they dont become our golfing overlords though. The post Robot caddie concept helps you make smart decisions on the green first appeared on Yanko Design.
