My Tiny Habit
I’ve always been downloading files on my laptop and hoard them up without deleting any. I even customized my laptop storage to be 1T so it gives me an excuse for not clearing the storage for a long time period, but it has been almost a year since I purchased it and there’s less than 400G left. Therefore I’d like to develop a habit of deleting a useless file from my laptop every time I download a new one.
The motivation for me to do this is the remaining storage of my laptop. I may lack a bit of motivation now since the rest of my storage isn’t affecting the processing speed of my laptop for most times. However, my motivation is increasing since it sometimes stuck when I’m editing clips and my laptop has to analysis larger film clips.
My ability to delete files isn’t low nor high. For most files, dragging them into the trash can delete them permanently. However, I had accidentally deleted a systemic file when I was using my last laptop which causes a vital function of my laptop no longer working. So I’m afraid that I may delete some important files when deleting files in batch.
I’d like to set my trigger as every time I download a new file, it would appear in the Downloads in my dock. Instead of simply clicking on the latest download, I would click on the arrow that leads me to Finder where I get a view for all my downloads and delete a useless one before I do anything with my latest download.
