Needlessly Delaying Procrastination

Well I got the plan for my essay done at home today, but I know fine well that I'd have done a lot more in the library and if I didn't have an essay to write I'd send a strongly worded letter to all three of my local councillors.

Maybe I'll send one when (if?) the essay gets written, or maybe there will be far too many distractions and I'll forget.

So now I have to find other time to do what I should have done today - which will eat into my planned procrastination time somewhat.

Now I'm not sure if planned procrastination is any kind of procrastination tbh because I'm pretty sure that one can only be procrastinating when one has something more important to do. In that case nothing qualifies - because procrastination is, for me, the most important activity possible - which leaves us with a logic problem.

Is it possible to procrastinate if procrastination is the most important thing in your life?

According to good ol' Wiklipedia however it has to be "counterproductive, needless, and delaying" so delaying alone isn't the issue and therefore I have to re-evaluate my favourite activity.

So I enjoy lounging now.

That'll do.
