The Trump-Xi Beijing Summit: What the Smiling Handshakes Won't Tell You

On Thursday, Donald Trump will walk into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, shake Xi Jinping's hand, and declare it a great meeting. There will be announcements. There will be numbers — billions of dollars in Chinese purchase commitments, a new bilateral mechanism with an important-sounding name, possibly a joint statement on Iran. Trump will post on Truth Social. Markets will rally briefly. Pundits will argue about who won. None of that will tell you what actually happened. What is actually happening in Beijing this week is something more consequential and more uncomfortable than the summit theatre will reveal: two leaders of two deeply mutually dependent superpowers, both of whom need this meeting to succeed for entirely different reasons, sitting across a table in a world that has already moved past the assumptions that defined their last nine months of negotiations. The Iran war changed the equations. The rare earth gambit changed the power balance. Taiwan is sitting in...

Use RoutineTap to help you reach your goals



Sometimes in life you need to answer to yourself. If you see that there are things holding you back from reaching your goals then you need to sit with yourself and ask those all important questions. Sometimes just asking and answering questions yourself will help you see what you're missing in life. It will also help you to look at life a little more differently and hopefully you will help yourself reveal the secret you want revealed.


This is where RoutineTap comes in, it is a web app that you can login to and keep track of all that you are doing and put some discipline in place. The simple philosophy behind the app is that if you are able to track your own personal habits, you will get a better sense of what's going on. Once you are able to track your day's routine you will begin to understand how you spend your time and what parts of your day or night need improvement.


How does RoutineTap work?
1. Login to the App
2. Create a questionnaire. e.g Did I do my workout this morning?
3. Answer it daily with a yes or no
4. Track your progress with a graph


So this kind of thing will ensure that you are answerable to yourself and bring about an analytical situation by looking at your graph to determine how much more persistence is needed in your daily routine.  


One of the best ways to track your goals is by using data. Once you start using the App the daily data will  become available to you. This is all important as you don't want to cheat or lie to yourself. Once the data is in front of you, getting a clearer picture of how you spend each day becomes easy. And over a period of time you will know what you're doing right and where you might be going wrong. So give it a whirl and let us know what you think about this new App.
