Procrastivity: The Art of Being Productively Distracted
Break Free from the Productivity Trap
Your deadline is coming very soon, yet you're busy organising files and perfecting emails instead of finishing your crucial project.
Welcome to PROCRASTIVITY—the marriage between PROCRAStination and producTIVITY. Coined by Dr. J. Russell Ramsay, it describes staying busy with real tasks while avoiding important work. Your brain seeks comfortable, predictable activities that provide immediate satisfaction while sidestepping challenging projects.
Break the cycle by 5-Minute Anchor, Awareness Check, or Strategic Breakdown.
Recognize when you're staying busy instead of being effective. Redirect energy toward work that truly matters, and your future self will thank you.
