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
