Productive Procrastination is what happens when you take speed (Amphetamine, Ethylamphetamine, blue speed) and focus on the wrong things. Instead of doing your homework, you're hyperfocused on cleaning the house, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, cleaning the windows and mirrors with vinegar, folding laundry, and more.
Tyler: I took 25mg of blue speed (Blue Ethylamphetamine) and I cleaned my room and alphabetized my PS2 videogame collection.

n. Doing stuff to keep busy while avoiding what really needs doing. When all is said and done, your room is clean, your laundry is folded -- but you haven't started your English paper.
