Limited social media: I barely use Instagram, update FB maybe once every few weeks, and deleted my Twitter account years ago. Aside from a LinkedIn account and Reddit, that’s the entirety of my social media presence. Most of my work comes from legwork, personal projects and direct pitches to editors.
If I could, I’d nuke all my social media from orbit (it’s the only way to be sure) but I do need to keep an up-to-date list of my professional contacts, and so far it’s the easiest way to do it.

Not if I can help it - for the most part I think people are far more interesting than static objects or settings.
“Hey, how’re ya? Playing around with a new lens and I’d love to shoot your portrait.”
Some people will say no (probably, but not always a majority) and some will say yes. Your energy and personality play a big part in this, so don’t act like you’re doing something wrong or inconveniencing anyone. The worst thing that can happen is they say no.
Multiple hard drives, cloud service.
I’ve used both, but I’ve honestly found octaboxes with quick releases to be the best.
