Assholes, yes, definitely, and perhaps they will grow out of it someday, but I don’t think their youth or being stressed excuses much. This is straight-up assholery from entitled, privileged idiots.

Our worker rights are shit, and those few that we do have, people don’t stand up for themselves, because even if they’re right, they’ll get fired, and if they get fired, they might not find something else, especially if they’re not in demand. And the settlement after the fact will be a pittance, and probably consumed…

There’s that. But there’s also the fact that they came of age in a time where there’s no job stability, shitty salaries, etc., and a culture of idolising Sillicon Valley sociopaths (i.e. every tech billionaire out there), so they probably think this is normal.

No, they really don’t. I live in the US but I’m not from here, and luckily I work for an international employer so my rights are waaaaay beyond anything most people in the US have. It’s fucking insane. Jezebel needs to stop obsessing on only reporting about companies run by women and that millennials are into (but of…

Assholes, yes, perhaps, but something that I think gets overlooked is that all these CEOs are also young. Bunn founded the museum when she was 24; the Away founders were both in their 20s, I believe. Another possibility is that they were way over their heads, didn’t have the experience or training to handle the stress…

In America, our rights are primarily gun-focused.

“Oh so you’re going to refuse to get real licence plates because reasons?”

“You want to smell so bad that your boss puts you on the night shift?”

Jesus Christ don’t you have ANY employment rights in your country? I mean, over here, my boss tells me to do ANYTHING that isn’t in my job description i can tell him to go fuck himself, he wants to make a fuss? I can drag his arse straight to an employment tribunal who will side with me until my employer can prove I…

I like to say, “You deny the existence of of your child and live in wealth while your ex-partner and child live in poverty?”

Any time anyone mentions they “idolize” Steve Jobs, I always say “Um, so if you get cancer you’re going to drink juice and die from not treating your cancer?”

This. There has been a male planner industry for DECADES, but that’s okay because it’s Serious Man Business and used for business things and comes in muted executive tones that don’t look like scrapbooks.

I should try that. I always think THIS is what I need to get my shit together..

Is it wrong that I am taking from this article, "Ooh! I should check out this Erin Condren.." I know it's wrong..

Agreed. I’m not nearly as busy as you are, but if I don’t write down what I’m doing and when I’m doing it, my forward momentum derails. I’ve tried online scheduling, but it doesn’t work for me. Some planners sell self-improvement and inspiration/aspiration more than others, but that doesn’t render the concept any less…

I’ve never been a proper planner, but I WAS an intense to-do-lister for years, with apps, and recurring tasks, merging my private life and work life goals into one massive daily list. I never had a day off from the list. 

So I don’t schedule every minute of my life, but I do use an Erin Condren planner pretty religiously. for me, it’s because I have ADHD, and if I don’t keep meticulous track of when and where i need to be places, then I simply will not be there. And while I can do that on my phone, physically writing it down makes it…

If you need unproblematic planner goals, Amanda Rach Lee is your gal:

I don’t understand the desire to have a huge party to celebrate high school graduation. This has baffled me for years, and in COVID times, it’s even more ridiculous. The only situation I can imagine where a high school graduation party might be warranted is if a young person had to overcome some huge, unusual…

Erin Condren aside, why so dismissive about “the planner community”? For people like me, a single mother with a full time job and several side projects to try to make ends meet, having a written down schedule is completely crucial. And I also use my Passion Planner (check them out as a very good alternative to…
