Productively Lazy 

When you’re wanting or thinking about being lazy, you’re technically productively lazy. Since being productive is setting your mind on doing something, then doing it, makes wanting to be lazy productive.

Andrew; You’re lazy.

Productivity Czar 

Used in sitcom "The Office". To be assigned to observe co-workers' work activity. Basically a snitch.

I don't have time to see that you all are doing your job, so John, you be the productivity czar.

Productive Procrastination 

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.

Josh: You're supposed to be doing your homework! You're doing productive Procrastination!

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.

productivity throttling controls 

Security devices and configurations which inhibit or minimize employee productivity. Employee productivity may be impacted by limiting access to information, communication and computing functionality, as well as by limiting computing performance. Controls may block websites, may block communication channels such as IRC, may slow computing devices by using full-disk encryption, antivirus, and spyware, may break applications by performing man-in-the-middle attacks and by misconfiguring applications. For some employees, substantial effort may be expended to find workarounds to bypass controls.

Brenda: Why won’t IE open this site?
Tim: The productivity throttling controls are misconfigured to arbitrarily disable TLS connections in IE. Go into Tools and enable TLS connections.

The productivity throttling controls won’t allow Firefox to get a critical update that addresses a vulnerability. Now I need to download the update and manually install. What a waste of time.

My workstation is churning away because of having to scan the large email attachment that I received. Because of the productivity throttling controls, I am unable to even switch tabs in my web browser.

Bill: Websense is prohibiting me from downloading a library I need to complete this work.
Me: We’ll let customer wait another day for the deliverable while I bypass the productivity throttling controls by downloading the library at home tonight and supplying to you on a USB tomorrow.
