What EXACTLY is procrastination?

Is it procrastination when you do the administrative job that needs doing, but that you enjoy more than the other administrative job which also needs doing but that you are secretly trying to avoid? I mean, if they BOTH need doing... That isn't procrastination, right?  

Is it some kind of distant moral hangover from a Calvinistic step-grandmother-via-your-mother that says that the least pleasant job is the least procrastinatory one?

Or what about the script writing, that also needs to happen?  That you long to do.  Can you allow your self to have that much fun?  It is necessary, after all. Except that if you don't do the funding application that is also looming, then you won't have the income to produce the script even if you do finish writing it? Except that the script isn't finished, so there is less of chance that you'll get the funding in question because by writing the funding application, you've procrastinated about getting the next draft done?

Well?  Anyone?  I could respond to comments rather than getting to any of the above...

OR...drop all of that and work on inventing time travel, so that you can travel back in time to now, then work and/or procrastinate and/or sleep at your own leisure!
Doctor Who has this problem sussed!

I maintain that I am the King of Procrastination - it's a beautiful country populated with all the most interesting people!
The problem is that they can do all the work in their heads within moments... then they have to tediously repeat it in writing. Why can't it just be downloaded?
