Progresstination

The act of making good progress on low priority tasks instead of completing tasks that are high priority. Differs from procrastination because the subject is in fact being productive in a manner of speaking.

In a superb feat of progresstination, I avoided working on my term paper, but cleaned my entire house and did the laundry!
