You know those days when you procrastinate from one useful and necessary thing by doing some other useful and necessary thing?

That is, unfortunately, one of the things I'm procrastinating
from.
And unfortunately for you, I mean cleaning
my
place; I'm not even bothering to procrastinate from cleaning yours. Dreadful sorry.

"Procrastinate" -- I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Sure I do. It means there's something I'm supposed to be doing, and I'm putting off doing it.

Hey, this is so like a description of my job. Except at times I don't have much choice in deciding what is useful to be doing.

Oh, yeah.
I used to beat that by starting both useful and necessary things. The sight of my project half-finished would propel me into finishing it. Unfortunately for me, I no longer mind seeing things sitting around half-done.
