I do this all the time. I find I have tons of energy to work on projects when I'm putting something else off. In my experience, the side projects need to have one key trait, they need to be achievable in chunks of a few hours. I don't mind doing work multiple times in a week, but as soon as I'm expected to work on something 5+ hours in a single session I'll switch to do something else. Also, they need to be one off tasks, I don't like repeating myself. Whilst this may annoy the non-procrastinators, it's just something I've worked out that works for me, though I never gave it a name before. I can still be very productive in short bursts. To whomever wrote the article, thank you.
