For instance, I bought these "desert boots" to walk on this road pictured above when it's raining and muddy. These boots need to be sprayed with some Rustoleum concoction that seals the leather so rain and mud roll off of it. I haven't done it yet, because it needs to be pre-sealed before the final treatment. This pre-seal needs to happen multiple times and to be allowed to dry in between these applications. This stuff is toxic and needs to be applied outside because it's in a spray form; but outside of where I am now is full of mosquitoes. So each time I'd need to go outside in order to spray on another application, I'd need to apply some more toxic anti-mosquito stuff on myself if I don't want to get eaten. Then wait for an hour with this stuff on me while it dries in between the three or four necessary applications and do it again and again.
Well, that's many steps with waiting in between so that's why I haven't done it yet. Now that I think about it, this means I just spelled out what it is I was resisting about the whole thing.

Duh - I could take the project to another spot protected from the rain but outside where there aren't as many mosquitoes. Good idea! That idea is the result of "Productive Procrastination."

If I'd gone ahead with pushing to get something done - it would have turned out to be unnecessarily difficult, because I wouldn't have thought of the easier solution that just emerged while I was telling this example. Because I procrastinated, (and spelled out what about the project makes me not want to do it,) I found a better way, (better as defined by our various values, like efficient, easier, cleaner, less poisonous, etc.)

I have always been attracted to people who were slightly or outright pushy and even thoughtless. By working with these kinds of people, they got me inspired to not drop the ball entirely while my "Productive Procrastination," Beer Thinking" or "back burner" was was in force.

But it's also possible to procrastinate so long that the intended project NEVER gets done.

For instance, my idea about what I came to call "The Arranger's Game" never really found an audience or perfect time when it's potential could be realized for having people of various skill levels work together. (If you'd like to take a look at it, find a description for it in my other blog: https://franis.blogspot.com (which will open in a new window.) 

Now I doubt if my Arranger's Game project will ever happen at all again, beyond the story of what has already happened. Because of being a moderator for Rob Braxman Tech channels, now I know what sort of dedication and effort a really new idea requires. Even with work, it's twenty years before an invention can truely reach its potential.

(That's not including really practical inventions that might be bought out and then shelved by a competitor!)

Anyway, I hope that you have a chance to convert your procrastinating into some Productive Procrastination!
