  • Email Organization 101: How to Achieve Inbox Zero

    Today on EVEsdropping, we're talking email organization via Inbox Zero, how to turn your internship into a full-time job, plus we're introducing some new segments, called "Dear HBIC" and "Would You Rather" (you might've heard of the latter, idk). 

    Real Talk: Email Organization/Inbox Zero

    • Create specific folders.
    • Lots, and lots, and lots of folders.
  • When an email comes in, do something with it.
    • Is it something you need to keep for reference? Move to a folder.
  • Is it a task you need to complete? Leave it in your inbox. Could you complete the task in less than like 3 min? Just do it.
  • If it’s an email in a thread, delete the earlier emails and keep the later ones. The later messages still have all the info you need in them.
  • Don’t get behind. It’s easier to get an inbox with 50 emails back down to zero than it is 300.
  • Unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe.

    • Dear HBIC

    • “I’m an intern and I really like the company I’m working for. I’m definitely open to working here after graduation, but they haven’t asked me to stay. Should I wait for them to bring it up, or let them know that I’d like to come on full-time? And what do I even say?”
  • Step one: Make sure you're good at your job and your employer likes you. Step two: Ask for it as soon as you know your plans after graduation. Step three: Slay.

    • Would You Rather...

    • Never use emojis ever again or only be able to send the poop emoji?
  • Sleep with your boss and get a promotion (but no one knows) or would you rather get a promotion and have everyone think you slept with your boss but you didn’t?

    • What We’re Loving This Week

    • Elise: Still my NECTAR mattress, holla. To read the review, visit: https://earnspendlive.com/2017/03/nectar-mattress-review/ and use our coupon code, ESL100 to get $100 off your mattress purchase!
  • Meleah: MOANA.

    • Boss and/or Adulting Moment

    • Elise: I'm becoming videographer for a day; our videographer couldn't make it to a video interview shoot this week so I'm filling in. He showed me how to use the camera and gave me a checklist, so I'm officially adding "videographer temp" to my resume.
  • Meleah: I am making phone calls like a madwoman. I’m renovating/buying/who tf knows this house that was built in 1915 and it needs some work. I’m getting every service out there to get me a bid.

    •  Tell us how many emails YOU have in your inbox by using the hashtag #JustEVEsdropping. And send your questions for "Dear HBIC" to [email protected]!

  • Equal Pay Day: Why It F*cking Matters

    Although EVEsdropping typically comes out each Wednesday, we decided to put this one out a day early in honor of Equal Pay Day (which is April 4th this year). What is Equal Pay Day? We're so glad you asked!

    • National Equal Pay Day is the day in the year women must work to “catch up” to men’s earnings from the previous year. White women make 80% of what men make in the workplace, so it has taken us until today to make what men made in 2016.
  • African American women’s equal pay day will be July 31st.
  • Latina women’s equal pay day will be November 2nd.
  • Why does the gender pay gap exist? Here are a few reasons: https://actuallyshecan.com/Content/pdfs/mentorship/leadership_gender_gap.pdf
  • We put together a handy little infographic about the Pink Tax (aka all the sh*t we have to pay for that men don't): https://earnspendlive.com/2017/04/pink-tax-how-expensive-woman/

  • Pros and Cons of Having Roommates

    Roommates: We've all been there, done that. Is it worth it? We're going over the pros and cons—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Plus, we're talking about the new season of Dancing With the Stars, Uber's president stepping down, Erin Condren's Seasonal Surprise Box, The Mindy Project, and overcoming our fears of public speaking.

    Real Talk: Pros and Cons of Having a Roommate

    • Pros:
      • Save $$$$.
  • Also can share Netflix/Hulu log ins.
  • Don’t have to live alone
  • Period syncing. Taylor & I used to have “period dates” where we’d go out, order a big meal, and then come home and eat ice cream while watching a chick flick.
  • On that note: built-in girl’s nights!
  • You can borrow things: clothes/food/etc (with permission)
  • Cons:
    • I didn’t either!
    • Someone’s in your space.
  • Sexual situations (aka noises)
  • Also just loudness/party noises.
  • You have to wear pants. I didn’t, but you should.
  • Confrontation
  • Living styles: a messy person + a clean person = arguing
  • Horror stories -- because we all know that’s what you’re here for.
    • Christine: My roommate broke into my LOCKED bedroom while I was out of the country and letting her friends who I had never met have sex in my bed. Same roommate who had never touched a dishwasher or a washing machine before she moved out of her parents house and literally just threw dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and washed every single outfit individually.
  • Also Christine: My sister’s psycho roommate who was obsessed w/ her and slept in her bed, used her computer, and showered in her shower while she wasn’t home
  • We’re not perfect. Here are some of our flaws/tips for making it werk:
    • Moral of the Story: it’s nice to give your roommate a heads up
    • Always be up front and talk it out. You may still not get your way, but ya know.
    • I had a THING about people letting me know before they just busted people up into our room. So a few times, a roommate I had tension with would bring a dude over for SeXiEtYmEs and not give me a heads up. I’m not deaf, so I could hear that there was a dude in our room. I would make up an excuse to walk into the Living Room/kitchen anyway in my thong, fake embarrassment and an apology, and then go back to my room.
  • Don't write passive-aggressive sticky notes.
  • Don’t eat each other’s food. If you do, always replace.

    • What’s Going on in the News?:

    • Dancing With the Stars starts this week!!!!!!!! Nick Viall's awkwardness continues!
  • Uber President quit bc sexual harassment. Yay.

    • What We’re Loving This Week:

      • Elise: The Erin Condren Seasonal Surprise Box. It's only $35 each quarter, and the value of the Spring 2017 box was $97.50. Sign up here: http://earnspendlive.com/go/erincondrencom
  • Meleah: Mindy Lahiri is a white man. And it's amazing.

    • Boss/Adulting Moments:

     

      • Elise: I SURVIVED MY PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE COMPANY LAST WEEK. I’ll never top this again.
  • Meleah: Elise’s presentation was so good. I won’t top that either. I… uh… worked Sunday night?

    • Hit us up on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag “JustEvesdropping” and tell us your roommate horror stories. Byee.

  • TV Tuesday: The Bachelor Season 21 Finale

    The lamest season in Bachelor history is finally over, and we have a lot of feelings. On this edition of TV Tuesday, we're going over all the ways Nick f*cked up this season, how long he and Vanessa will last, why Raven's better off without him (and on Bachelor in Paradise instead), and how excited we are for Rachel to be the new Bachelorette (although we hope the rest of the men aren't total goofs like the four men we met last night on After the Final Rose).
