Why do I own so much I never read, watch, or use?

You have more courses, books, and videos than you could finish in ten years. The pile grows every month. What you actually read grows much slower, if at all. This is worth saying plainly, without shame. Here is the quiet trick: buying gives a small hit of progress, almost like finishing something. It costs one click and no effort. So the hand keeps clicking while the eyes stay shut. The library becomes a monument to intention, not a tool for use. This is not really a shelf problem. It is a stopping problem. You do not need a bigger reading plan. You need a smaller shelf, and a reason to stop filling it.
