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."

Coffee Shop Productivity

The idea that if you do your work outside of your room or office you'll actually get more done, because you took the time to get out there and work somewhere else in the first place.

"Got to write my paper, going to head over to the coffee shop so I'll stop procrastinating "

"I do that too man, but today I'm going to the library instead. Still, got to love that coffee shop productivity."
