I successfully procrastinated on pending maintenance tasks from breakfast to lunchtime by tweeting about maintenance tasks. Now I can take a nap and wake up and figure out a different procrastination strategy for the afternoon.

If I spent half as much creative energy and time doing maintenance work as I do trying to avoid it, I'd be much more miserably productive

I think "Imagine how much I'd get done if I were productive all the time" is equivalent to "Imagine how good I'd be at poker if I won every hand." Technically true, but fundamentally at odds with reality.

Well not really. It’s not productive all the time. Just more so. I know plenty of people who work systematically more, with less waste and devious avoidance than me

Most of that energy would dissipate to the friction generated by the thought of doing something whose procrastination is creative.
