Does anyone else spend a lot of time preparing for work and very little time actually getting work done?

As I grow older, and have more disposable income, I find myself putting off projects until I can buy tools or devices to help me accomplish these projects more efficiently. However, the time and money spent acquiring these tools often makes little sense. I justify these purchases by telling myself that I'll use the tool later for other projects, even though I know that it's unlikely.

Is this just a man thing, or am I slowly going insane? Please tell me I'm not alone.
