accidental procrastination

The act of thinking that something (i.e. essay, project, birth of a child) was due on a later day leading to last minute preparations, and half-assed work.

LISA WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE BABY WAS DUE TODAY WE NEED TO GO!!!!

Eddie - DAMN IT!
Aaron - Damnit? what happened?
Eddie - I HATE ACCIDENTAL PROCRASTINATION
Aaron - Me too
Eddie - I thought these essays were due Tuesday

procrastination

Establishing an environment in which the creative juices can flow.

My best work is always done at the last minute, whether it be working on a project or studying for a test. I just take my time, and the ideas begin to flow.

Procrastination

Leaving things off until the very last minute, or completely blowing them off, regardless of the consequences.

Procrastination is knowing you have a really important paper due tomorrow, but you just can't find the motivation to do the work. It's already 3 am, and you still haven't done anything. Then you decide you're too tired and go to bed, figuring it won't be that bad to turn it in a day late. This situation can repeat itself many a time.

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.

procrastination

Work pays off later. Procrastination pays off now. The cycle of work in reverse: you feel good lounging around but you realized you screwed up later.

(Looking at F) "Darn I guess I shouldm't have procrastinatingfor that test, huh?"

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."
