    Does it count as procastinating if you do other somewhat useful jobs instead of the main one? (Or is what I said the definition of procastination?)

      can you not just call me out by my full name here jeez

      my favorite procrastination strategy is to clean my apartment instead of doing the thing i need to do because hey now my apartment is clean thats pretty sweet ive been meaning to do that (not that a clean apartment helps me do the thing i actually need to do in any way)

      Even if you are being productive in task Y, you are still procrastinating X while doing Y, assuming X should be done before Y, if they have to be done by the same deadline it’s not procrastinating
