One thing I realised recently is that my tendency to procrastinate can be useful tool in deferring expenditure.

There were several days after Christmas when I meant to go to the shops and buy some things but never got around to it. And then, on thinking about it realised I did not need those things at all.

So procrastination can be a good thing to slow down our acquisitiveness.
