Reverse Procrastination

When one finishs a project long before the due date and then forgetting about the project completely.

Reverse procrastination can lead to lack of editing, forgetting the due date, or losing the project completly.

I completed a project two months before the due date, but because of reverse procrastination, I forgot where I put it.

productive procrastination

A form of procrastination in which you refrain from doing other work by productively wasting time on only a part of the work you are already doing.

In other words, you are procrastinating by doing work while doing virtually no work.

Boy: What are you doing?
Girl: I have just spent the last hour making my math homework look pretty and neat instead of doing my English homework.
Boy: Wow, at least you're working on something.
Girl: That's productive procrastination for ya.

Pre-Procrastination

The art of accepting the fact that you will wind up doing a task at the last minute, so an educated decision is made just not to bother with it now and complete the task at the last minute.

Pre-Procrastination:

Person 1: "Are you working on your assignment due next week?"
Person 2: "Nah I've Pre-Procrastinated to just work on it the night before."

Pawsitive procrastination

Derived from "positive procrastination". Positive procrastination is when you put off doing an urgent task by doing less urgent activities (such as cleaning, working out, running errands, ect.). Pawsitive procrastination is like positive procrastination, but specifically using pet care/attention activities to avoid work.

My term paper is due tonight but I am engaged in pawsitive procrastination by taking my dog on an extra walk today.

Productive Procrastination

In order to avoid doing something you need to do, you do something else productive.

I use Productive Procrastination when I clean my room instead of starting an English paper.
