Putting off procrastination

Sometimes, the thing you spend all day avoiding turns out to be an enjoyable challenge that takes half as much time and energy as you thought it would. Should I be surprised? Or...does this always happen, but I somehow forget this portion of my procrastination cycle? Either way, I'm marking this happy outcome (and boring the blog world with it) for future times when procrastination turns up, so I'll be armed and ready for the fight.
