Kostya, that sounds more like an extended version of the "scrubbing the toilet instead of studying for the exam"-syndrome. It's a more energetic version of procrastination, where you clean the house and bake cookies rather than sit on your ass and play videogames. But it's still procrastination.

Well, there's a little of that. I've certainly found massive motivation in evasion of study, and often when the heat is on I find that I have a really clean room etc. However, I really do work at things I am interested in, on holidays even I was in the library studying the film techniques of early twentieth century Japan. I just never like anything for long enough to make it into an academic exercise. Plus, when you make it an assessment item and slap a deadline on it, the fun kinda dries up.
