As I told you in an earlier post i am trying to better organize my Mac. I found this little tip to make a Smart Folder to access your most recent applications. I have mine set for 3 days but you could use what ever.
Go to the Finder Menu and Select “New Smart Folder” then use the following:
- Where: Computer
- Kind: Applications
- Last Opened: Within Last 3 Days (You can change the number of days if you would like)

I have a normal icon view, so I can see visually what I want, instead of the usual menu list. You could do the same for Documents (or whatever), too. No doubt many will say “yea, but why don’t you use app X to do this?” Well, I like to use OSX as-is wherever possible.
