The act of placing yourself or others (usually those who work for you) in crisis mode now for something far in the future that may or may no ever happen. The same amount of energy is expended and stress is created in a compressed timeframe as if you had waited until the last minute only it is done now when it is uncertain if the event will actually occur.
Why does the boss always pre-crastinate? We end up doing cheetah flips and running around like our pants are on fire for something 6 months away "just in case." Then they cancel the thing.

I should be writing my essay, but I'm busing reading disturbing definitions. I really shouldn't procrastinate.

Mike: Jeez man, I don't think I can make it to the bathroom. I peecrastinated during the entire movie.

Get the Peecrastinate mug.One who has the urge to get everything done in advance—the opposite of a procrastinator. It can have both positive and negative effects.
Someone with chronic precrastination will attempt to precrastinate even when they do not have the time to do so until it drives them crazy, while others will benefit from it temporarily. In other cases, precrastination will lead you to mess up because you did not think things through.

Sally already finished tomorrow's homework because she is a precrastinator.
Sally couldn't go to the party because she was precrastinating all night.
Because Sally precrastinated on her homework, she didn’t understand the material and got a bad grade.
