This pressure cannot be resisted because it is what makes economy run. The faster you make consumption decisions, the faster economic engines turn. We all have an interest in making this "as fast as possible." This is why direct "slow food" or whatever doesn't scale.
Anecdotally it does happen when you manage to delegate most routine spending to another human, so in principle automatable.

In my case, basically only personal spending I do is reload my starbucks app every few weeks. Everything else my wife handles. It's almost as good as being rich and having a chief of staff :) Business spending has a different psychological structure so I don't mind managing that

I think you're right that automated purchasing would do better than us biased meatsacks, but I'm not sure it necessarily regains control over temporality. You still have to be at a place at a time to get deliveries, meet service providers, etc.

They're all getting solved on terms that return control to you. Eg. Amazon locker is easier than "have to be at home"
