I think I have previously mentioned "Productive Procrastination", when you get really productive and do a whole lot of little things you have been putting of for ages, as a way of procrastinating away from something else. Procrastivation goes one step further.
I spent most of Saturday afternoon not studying for my PTC exam, but instead hanging up pictures and other hooks, fixing my curtain rail, washing and packing my new tupperware, washing and storing away summer clothes and other chores. Finally I thought "I should go for a jog." Ah-hah! At this point, I realised that I didn't really want to go for a jog, and I became more motivated to study—I used PTC study to procrastinate away from jogging! I used one nasty job as procrastivation to do another another nasty job!

You are indeed like your sister who thinks, rightly so, that procrastination is not a fault but an art.
