Productively Unproductive

I have the strange habit of being extremely productive when I am being completely unproductive. Let me explain how this works:

First, I am assigned an undesirable task, say, calling someone I don't want to talk to, or, oh I don't know...HOMEWORK.




Second, I tell myself that I am going to work on said task.



Third, I get distracted by other things that I could accomplish instead.










Fourth, I justify accomplishing those things.








Fifth, I accomplish those things.


Yeah..... and then usually it ends up taking me until the very last minute to accomplish the unpleasant thing that I didn't want to do and I end up getting a whole bunch of fantastic other things done. 
You can call this procrastination if you want, but at least I am getting something done. I mean, I made this blog at a time that I was supposed to be studying for a statistics final, wait... hmm.... this could be a problem....
