For that last half a year or so I have been using a solution that I call scratch pad to try out ideas.  For example if I have an idea for some sort of crazy layout panel that I want to try out, but don’t wont to mess around with the project that it is destined for, then I make a new project (or reuse an existing one) in my ScratchPad.sln and try out the idea.  This has worked really well for me, because I typically find it hard to decide on the best way to do something to start with which makes me procrastinate doing it.  Since the scratch pad doesn’t matter and I don’t have to worry about making a mess it is much easier for me to just jump in and try something out.
