I am going to make a new word, "learnacrastinator", "learnicrastor" (feel free to fix/expound). One who learns a subject or skill while procrastinating studying for another.

I saw a great point in some article the other week about why Ph.d students end up doing all these incredible things in their free time - it's all an elaborate way of procrastinating from finishing their theses.

I like that better.

The word, not the fact you've just described my life.

Fixing bugs in a large open-source project while I should have been studying for major exams was what landed me a Google Summer of Code position, which (I assume) is what landed me an interview at a major tech company.

Safe to say that a huge proportion of my current income is directly due to "productive procrastination" :)

"educrastination" - the act of learning something while procrastinating about doing something else.
