A friend calls this "para-productive" work, when it's in moderation; it's not directly helpful towards her task, but it's useful for gearing up and building momentum. If it gets too far into the procrastination side of things, she calls it "psuedo-productive".
(I asked her whether making up these silly phrases is psuedo-productive, or para-productive. She replied that it was "meta-productive". ๐)

There is a word for that in Champagne French dialect: "cnasser" people who cnasse are doing everything but what they are suppose to do unlike people who procrastinate that simply don't do the thing and push it to later.
I've always referred to it as "productive procrastination". Better than doomscrolling I guess ...
