Productive procrastination

Productive procrastination is efficiently accomplishing everything except for the thing that you most need to do.

I need to write this term paper but before I get started on that I should work out, go grocery shopping, do the laundry, do my readings for the week, and check Facebook... Productive procrastination.

semi-productive procrastination

(noun) what you do when you don't feel like working but aren't procrastinating either. instead, you're being semi-productive regarding what you should be doing. instead of doing your work, you're doing something related to it but completely unnecessary.

also: (verb) to semi-productively procrastinate.

also: (adj.) a semi-productive procrastinator.

DIFFERENT than productive procrastination because you're NOT being fully productive with random things other than your work, nor are you being fully productive with your actual job.
rather, you ARE being somewhat kinda productive towards what you should be doing (but aren't).

similar to quasimultislacking but not exactly.

friend: "i'm working on that current events assignment for tomorrow, how 'bout u?"
semi-productive procrastinator: "yeah me too! i've spent the past 20 minutes trying out different fonts."
friend: "that semi-productive procrastination will be the thing that brings your GPA down."

Productive Procrastination

Putting off school work by doing tasks that you would otherwise put off such as the laundry, washing your car, the dishes, Organizing files on the computer, preparing next semester's schedule, cleaning the bathroom, washing the neighbors dog, cooking, cooking for your neighbor, pairing all of your socks together, looking up driving directions for races 5 months away, and other such tasks.

Benfits: Shit gets done that you ultimately wouldn't have done for days...Side Effects: Straight Up Procrastination (SUP) because you have run out of things to do and have reduced your efficiency by broadcasting your actions which may lead to messing things up just to fix them and being uncharacteristically kind to strangers and people you despise for the sake of staying productive.

Max: Nah, man he's Productively Procrastinating again. Alex told me he's been volunteering at the homeless shelter for the last 12 hours.

Casey: Haha, that's just like him. Remember last time he crashed his car just so he could repair it. Ahh well, every now and then Productive Procrastination gets to us all.
