The point (as I took it) is that there are lots of valuable but non-urgent things one could do at any given time, and doing these as a way of avoiding something can make you quite accomplished. Doing “completely unessential” tasks wouldn’t be Structured Procrastination, it would just be procrastination.
Clearly, this method would be inappropriate if you had one major task of such importance that doing anything else was a complete waste of time.
