Instant Gratification

When I was growing up I was warned that I should never count on instant gratification and that being instantly gratified was actually a bad thing. I was taught to wait and usually do something quiet while I was waiting. Oddly no one ever tried to get me to stop jerking off which I have come to regard as having all the worst elements of instant gratification. But this post is not about me playing with myself. I am thinking about how I can order things online and instead of waiting weeks or months they come from the grocery store on the same day and Amazon in a day or two. I still have the mindset that I will have to wait and should plan well ahead to have everything I need for a week or a month. So I buy too much of everything (see the Spam post), so I have it if no one will deliver fresh supplies. So far that hasn’t been much of a problem one way or the other, but I’m starting to think the mindset might be.
