4d5ad3c0c0 Add nuance to the reference to Yak Shaving 
Yak Shaving refers to not just a distracting activity, but one that is part of a chain of activities that need to be done before the task at hand can be done. So the activity serving as the distraction is required and is not necessarily trivial, distinguishing it from Bike Shedding.

Some references emphasizing the chain-of-prerequisites aspect of Yak Shaving:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yak_shaving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrVbNNOTNus
http://projects.csail.mit.edu/gsb/old-archive/gsb-archive/gsb2000-02-11.html

I heard, but could not find on recollection, a talk on YouTube from either a Dev Ops conference or a Terraform conference where a parable like the following was related to explain the definition:

> You need to change a light bulb. But you don't have a ladder. Your neighbor certainly has one. But they will never lend you their ladder until you return the yak wool sweater that you borrowed from them. Which you lost. But you have a yak in your backyard. So you go out and shave your yak, so you can knit a replacement sweater, so you can borrow a ladder, so you can change a lightbulb.
