protaskinate

To perform non-essential but somewhat productive tasks to avoid the real work you should be doing

I didn't feel like doing my taxes so I protaskinated by sorting through my junk mail.

protaskinating

Completing many low level, unimportant or "busywork" tasks while avoiding or procrastinating on an important task.

I've been protaskinating on my taxes all week, but my apartment has never been cleaner!

multi-protaskinator

A person who not only has ADHD but is also a procrastinator causing them to start multiple tasks but putting them all off till the last possible moment to complete.

Dennis is such a multi-protaskinator. He starts 5 things at one time and put's everything off till the last minute to complete.
