This is a good reframe. To summarize a key idea from that article for other readers (though the whole post is worth reading), the author recommends thinking of low-priority but arguably important work as "snacking" and a distraction from the most important tasks.

This is clever, as it's likely easier for people to admit that they are "snacking" versus "procrastinating," especially if the task they are snacking on seems vaguely productive or helpful.
