In problem-solving, subtraction is better than addition

HAVE you hoarded enough clothes, shoes and other personal items over the years that are now cluttering your family home? How about your spouse? Not only with clothing and accessories, practically every one of us has bought some personal apparel since the time we can’t remember. Those things have outlived their usefulness, including the fact they don’t fit our body, lifestyle, taste, even dignity.

Moreover, you might not even sure why we bought them in the first place. We’ve even duplicated this bad habit with old books, obsolete home appliances, glossy magazines, newspaper clippings and carton boxes that are now occupying precious space at home and in the office. This brings us to an interesting story of Jake (not his real name) who worked for a nonprofit organization (NPO) advocating for business interests.
