Knowing your shopping weaknesses makes you better equipped to resist them, writes CharlotteCowles
Photo: Bettmann Archive/Getty Images I spend a lot of time on Instagram, partly because it’s fun, but also for work — I’m in marketing, so I have to stay on top of social media for my job. The problem is that I’m also using it to shop, and I need to rein it in. I like a lot of the stuff I buy, but I know I don’t need it. And I definitely can’t afford it. Today I spent $200 on new shirts during a work meeting, because I just happened to pick up my phone .
Of course, the most logical solution would be to quit Instagram entirely, but it seems like that’s not realistic for you . Instead, you want to stop spending money on it — or at least spend less money. It’s a fine line, and a tough one to walk. Now for the good news: Knowing your weaknesses makes you better equipped to resist them. Think of Odysseus tying himself to his ship when he sailed past the Sirens. You have to anticipate your weak moments, because once you’re in the middle of one, you’re probably too far gone.

Third Desperate, Unsolicited Email To Tenuous Business Contact Should Do The TrickLACONIA, NH—Deciding that enough time had passed since sending her previous unanswered query, local woman Enid Calhoun reportedly sat down at her computer Thursday under the impression that a third desperate, unsolicited email to a tenuous business contact should do the trick. “Hi, just following up again,” wrote Calhoun, 28, adding that she hoped she wasn’t being “too pushy” in her third attempt in two weeks to get a response from the hiring manager she had spoken with once, in passing, in her entire life. “I realize how busy you are, so if it’s easier, maybe we can sit down over coffee near your office. You can reach me by phone, text, or email at any time (repasting again below in case you lost them). Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks so much!” At press time, Calhoun had convinced herself that the manager was on vacation and planned to send him a fourth email in another week in the unlikely event he didn’t get back to her first.
