Procrastinative is a word I came up with recently, while I was talking with someone, and it's a combination of procrastination and productive.
What is procrastination, essentially? A delay in doing what you should be doing. And being productive is doing that very thing. Whereas procrastinative delaying that very thing, but then still doing it here and there. Still having it in your head and you write down or you talk about it with someone to the point that ideas are pretty much there. The question is, why do we do that to ourselves? Why are we our own worst enemy when it comes to doing things that we like, but end up delaying for a while, sometimes to the point that we don't want to do that anymore? One reason is that we keep distracting ourselves with pointless bullshit. A snack, a show, a conversation, a story on your phone. And then we end up seeking the distraction just so we won't do it anymore. Up to the point where a voice in your head will tell badmouth you for not working on yourself. As much as that one is annoying, this is the one time it is speaking the truth. Another reason would be that there's no point in doing it. Sure, sometimes it may provide some small gratification, and I'm not necessarily talking about work related issues, but what if that small gratification vanishes, what does it provide then? We humans are one of the weirdest animal species around, and no one more than us enjoys controlling others instead of ourselves. We'd rather spend hours watching other lives fluctuate between episodes because we are tired/bored/afraid of progressing with ours. And that in itself is preposterous. But here we are.
