I though it was odd to receive this pair of magazines this week.

Inspired by Minimalist Mac, I cleared my first two iPhone screens and started moving in apps that I actually use. The first page I made a strict rule: Only apps that I use every single day. The second page are apps that I use at least once a week, but not every day. The third page is apps I find handy but don’t use often. The fourth page is Apple apps that I don’t use and can’t delete. The rest? I deleted.

Here’s what I came up with:

First screen (minus built-in apps):

• PEMDAS calculator
• Simplenote
• Gowalla
• iReddit
• Remote
• Tweetie

Second page:

• Dropbox
• Skype
• YouVersion Bible
• Pandora
• Starbucks mobile card
• NPR News
• NYTimes
• USA Today
• Convert
• Jaadu VNC
• Jaadu RDP
• InerTrak
• 1password
• Cocktails+
• Drinkspiration by Absolut
• Bump

Finally, a few apps I keep on the third page:

• PushDialer
• BeejiveIM
• Yelp
• redbox
• IMDb

I’ve been using Google Reader for several years now and never quite been happy with my folder set up. I’ve been finding a few examples here and there of how people have set up theirs and decided to work on my own. Here’s what I’ve got now:

• A-List - good writers on any topic that I do not want to miss
• Friends in Real Life™
• Local - anything specifically related to Dallas and Texas
• Cycling
• Music
• Travel
• Entertaining - blogs like FAIL or Treehugger that I enjoy reading for fun
• Tech - sites such as Gizmodo or Engadget
• Entertaining++
• Tech++

The two at the bottom with ++ after them are the blogs that post excessively. If I see 1000+ items in there, I don’t feel bad about going bankrupt on those folders.
