Help Me Be a Minimalist in My Life

Why?

You might want to have less.

How?

An app where you set up what is the maximum number of items you want to have in your life. Then you list all the items you currently have. If there are more than what you deem as the right number, then you have to get rid of the extra ones. From that point on, any new item has to push out another one.

 

Central Repository of Highlights and Notes From Books

Why?

Wouldn’t it be interesting if we could look at other people’s notes and what they highlighted while reading a certain book?

Why?

How?

Map the world wide web based on subjects. See clusters of information out there and how they are connected. Than see your own interest map emphasized on the whole map. This will also show you other interests that are bordering your map of interests.
