>Friction is good This has been on my mind for a long time. I used to be all about frictionlessness. Speed! Convenience! Make it smoother! Then I found... actually, paper based systems work way better for me. Digital systems just turn into big piles of bloat. It's too easy to add stuff. So they grow until they collapse under their own weight. (Take a look at your contacts list. How many should still be in there? How many did you add for a one time thing and then keep forever? Should there be a temporary folder? Shouldn't it be the default? That's how it works in nature!) Ended up using paper as a temporary improvisation, then realized it solved all the problems I had with digital systems. Friction is good. With communication, it used to cost money to communicate. Now it's free, and we now have a sea of noise where most messages are "adding negative value", because they steal your time and energy. Same with the app stores. Do any search and you find an ocean of slop! The gems drown in the sea of slop. Friction is good.
