Mac OS should have a game mode for Trash. The way trash is now, you get the pleasing sound but you don't get the thrill of making a basket. If there was a game mode for Trash, you could have random mini-games popup from time-to-time when you trash a file.

It would be set up so the game would only pop-up for files older than a certain date to prevent people from making new files and trashing them just to play the game. Gaming the Trash might also encourage people to clear out digital clutter too.

By the way, I have done zero searches to see if this already exists. ( ^ . ^ ) \m/

Through years of flipping back and forth between paper and digital for idea capturing, I know I am into digital a lot more. But I absolutely love crossing off things on a list with a pencil or crumpling up a note when it is completed.

Woke up today thinking I need to cyborg my idea capturing system so that I can enjoy both digital and analog. So I took a ton of scrap paper and cut it all up into approximately business card size. All ideas will start on a scrap and then will get reviewed to see which ones will graduate to digital storage.

Pros

• Ideas incubate for a while
• Ideas get looked at at least twice
• Paper and pencils get used so i can get more paper and pencils
• Less digital clutter

Cons

• Extra steps capturing ideas
• Risk losing ideas that I might find useful not now but later
