Minimalism is the solution. It is the future.
10 Tips:
1. Scan any important documents or mail and throw away. (Scan apps are mostly free)
2. Have multiple use for each item when possible. For example, a cutting wood board is also a plate.
3. Wash reusables and clothes more often so you can have less and maximize utility.
4. If you want to buy something and you ask your self if you really need it, the answer is always no.
5. Have a rule: if you add something to your house, get rid of something.
6. Borrow or rent things that you use only occasionally.
7. Use technology to store books and pictures and notes etc…
8. No meaningless decorations! They are all junk. Only hang or place art or artifact that have a very inspirational meaning to you.
9. Get rid of exact duplicates of anything.
10. You don’t need any kitchen sets more than 5. If you are serving more than 5 people, you should use paper or plastic.

It means that my plan is so outrageous that I can’t talk about it right now, but you will see what I will do when I get to power. BELIEVE ME.
Trump has a strong advantage over Hilary, which is her disastrous Foreign Policy in the Middle East which lead to the emboldening and formation of ISIS. If he uses that to raise to power, history might repeat itself.
With the appointment of the Supreme Justice, the Supreme Court will be conservative, and the house and senate are republican, and he will have full power.

When you build your brand in business, you also build your reputation to attract people with integrity and scare scavengers. Dishonesty will always be way more expensive than honesty. I will make sure that that is the case every time.
The president under which America gained more respect internationally, American economy grew stronger, more than a million jobs created, and Americans felt safer is President Obama.

“Evolution has shaped us with perceptions that allow us to survive. But part of that involves hiding from us the stuff we don’t need to know. And that’s pretty much all of reality, whatever reality might be.”
Our perception is our reality.
