There is an obvious (at least to me) correlation between an increase in my tumblr/twitter/facebook usage and me not having very much money. I also tend to email people back with longer messages and in a shorter period of time. I also archive my mail properly in Gmail and MobileMe so that my Inboxes are clean.
The no money/being productive correlation extends into all facets of my life. I grocery shop for the week and fill my tank with gas and even put a few dollars on my Starbucks Gold card so that I can have my one tall redeye in the morning.
In short, I should probably not allow myself to have disposable income. I’d probably be in much better financial shape.
On an unrelated note, the amount of money I paid in federal taxes in 2008 is equal to 50% what I paid in every other year of my life combined. Which is nice.
