Why didn't I think of this, before?
I've been procrastinating for two days. I have to write code for a feature that is very much the same as
a feature that I created several months ago. I can't reuse and modify my other code, and the feature I have to create is so different that I'll have to code it from scratch. At the same time, it conceptually does the same thing. Having already done this before, doing it again is painfully dull to even think about.
Then I realized something. You can only procrastinate if you have the intention of doing something. If you have no plan to do something, then how can you put it off? By choosing not to do something at all, it eliminates procrastination. If you don't procrastinate, then you can't be considered to be an irresponsible person. I choose to be responsible. I'll simply just not do it at all.

tl;dr - how to procrastinate without admitting you are procrastinating.
There are no solutions, only trade-offs. - Thomas Sowell
A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do. - Calvin (Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes)

If you have no intention to do something, it's impossible to procrastinate. How do you prevent yourself from doing something that will never happen?

Easy, stop thinking
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

From your purely theoretical point I agree. I will never eat liver, I have no intention of ever eating liver, therefore you are correct, I am not procrastinating from eating liver.
I was speaking from the preamble of your point, that this realization came from you procrastinating about something you don't want to do but you do intend to do regardless of how boring you think it will be. In that singular case, you are procrastinating, yes?

You subclass and / or hide the previous code (in a dll).
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

That's a good idea, but the code I'm writing is all client-side JavaScript.

My preferred way to handle procrastinating is to put it off until later.

I was on a flight to Phoenix when I saw this. I'm still baffled by it!
I took a photo of it, here.
I've sent certified letters of this photo to the FAA, the NTSB, Delta Airlines, the Department of Defense, the Chinese Ministry of Weather Balloons, and the Director of National Intelligence. I have had no response from any of them.
Several days ago, I was in my house reading my bible when I heard a loud screech. I looked out the window and, I saw a plain white conversion van stopped in my driveway. Then I heard a loud bang. Several masked people busted my front door down, grabbed me, and threw me into the van before speeding out of my driveway onto the road. I'm not allowed to disclose what happened after that.
I'm not sure if getting vanned had anything to do with what I saw. I get vanned every so often, so I just don't know.
Have any of you guys seen this, too?

Welcome to Ward B, some of us see animals, some just sit in a corner and talk to themselves but most bizarre of all some hear politicians telling the truth. Those they put in a special ward.

Everyone knows that if it's on the Internet, then it's true.
How do you not know that?
I get the feeling that people aren't taking my experience seriously.
