Delaying action provides us with free will
Free will stems from the power to restrain from action. Delaying the impulse to act provides room for other actions to be considered. This time in which alternatives are weighed provides the appearance of free will.
John Locke (1690).

The choices that are made during the delay need not arise from some metaphysical freedom of the subject; free will is just the consideration of alternatives.
