(noun) When you're doing work that's not the work you should be doing, but instead of just procrastinating you're being semi-productive and doing something that's not really important but still relates to your task.
also: (verb) to semi-productively procrastinate
Similar to pro-crastination, but not nearly as productive. Different in that semi-productive procrastination is still about what you should be doing, and can actually lead to what you should be doing.
Similar to productive procrastination, but different in that when you semi-productively procrastinate, what you're doing still relates a little to what you SHOULD be doing but just isn't it.

kid 2: "Kinda. I've spent the last hour making an outline for what we're supposed to be writing about."

kid 2: "Yeah I know. I'm semi-productively procrastinating."
parent: "Stop procrastinating on your book report!"

parent: "Instead of answering as you read?"

Doing interesting stuff that feels like you're making the world better in preference to doing the easy, boring, daily stuff that actually makes a difference.
You're so busy signing petitions on Avaaz that you forgot your mum's birthday. That's moral procrastination.

1. There is always 'later'.
2. The more work there is to be done, the longer you will procrastinate.

You're reading The Three Laws of Procrastination on urban dictionary.. There's got to be something better you could be doing with your life, right..? ... no?.....*sigh*
(noun) what you do when you don't feel like working but aren't procrastinating either. instead, you're being semi-productive regarding what you should be doing. instead of doing your work, you're doing something related to it but completely unnecessary.
also: (verb) to semi-productively procrastinate.
also: (adj.) a semi-productive procrastinator.
DIFFERENT than productive procrastination because you're NOT being fully productive with random things other than your work, nor are you being fully productive with your actual job.
rather, you ARE being somewhat kinda productive towards what you should be doing (but aren't).
similar to quasimultislacking but not exactly.

I LOVE TO replace high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority. I ALSO LOVE doing stuff for my enjoyment, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time.
Lily, The Great Procrastinator once thought about conquering the Nation of Panem but chose to watch Sailor Moon instead.

basically when you are trying to tell a teacher to fuck off, without swearing, you say go forth and procrastinate which pretty much means go away and dawdle
"Why don't you just go forth and procrastinate, sir?"
