Productive Procrastination: The Positive Side - Deepstash

Productive Procrastination: The Positive Side

Productive procrastination is when you’re efficient and accomplish everything (except for the most important things).

For example: When having a hard project to crack, you may find yourself doing:

  • laundry
  • the dishes
  • cleaning the house
  • washing your car
  • organizing files on the computer
  • cleaning the bathroom
  • cooking.

You actually worked and achieved something.  Procrastinating doesn’t have to mean “doing nothing”. You can still do low-level, unimportant stuff. 

Productive procrastinators are great workers. They are able to do a lot of work, provided it is not the one they should be doing at the moment.
