We sometimes use "multitasking" to distract ourselves from what really needs to be done. In other words, we are becoming "multicrastinators", people who procrastinate¹ by performing multiple non-work tasks simultaneously².

有时候，我们会通过多个任务来分神，拖延真正要做的事情。也就是说，我们变成了“多任务拖延者”，同时进行多个与工作无关的事情，来拖延正事儿的进程。

 

For instance, you have a project report to finish, but you are checking Weibo, updating WeChat Moments, and watching South Korean dramas on tablet. 

比如，你有个项目报告要写，可是你却在刷微博、更新朋友圈、在平板上看韩剧。
