There is a word for that in Champagne French dialect: “cnasser” people who cnasse are doing everything but what they are suppose to do unlike people who procrastinate that simply don’t do the thing and push it to later.

A friend calls this “para-productive” work, when it’s in moderation; it’s not directly helpful towards her task, but it’s useful for gearing up and building momentum. If it gets too far into the procrastination side of things, she calls it “psuedo-productive”.
(I asked her whether making up these silly phrases is psuedo-productive, or para-productive. She replied that it was “meta-productive”. 🙄

I’ve always referred to it as “productive procrastination”. Better than doomscrolling I guess …
