Harddrive Is Probably Full

# Summary Most people's harddrives are chronically full regardless of storage capacity, with a poll showing approximately half of respondents had drives over 75% full. The author argues this occurs because full storage is not perceived as a problem until it becomes critically congested, at which point cleanup feels too overwhelming to do thoroughly, creating a cycle repeated across many areas of technology and life. This paradox—where we only address issues once they become painful rather than proactively—makes solving problems significantly harder than addressing them incrementally.
