correct pondering and easy moves.
It is also logical to save time in the first place for other reasons.

Imagine that you have time control of 2 hours/40 moves+1 minute for the rest of
the game.

Is it logical to use almost all the 2 hours for the first 40 moves and to get to
a serious time trouble or maybe it is better to save 30 minutes so you can use
them after move 40?
