procrastinate

Engaging in acts of pleasure that may otherwise distract you from completing day to day tasks.
I procrastinated last night before bed, causing me to stay up later than intended. I overslept and decided to procrastinate before work. My life feels chaotic because I am always procrastinating. Some may suggest that I need an intervention, but I don't necessarily want one. Fear of failure may lead someone to procrastinate.

Lily, The Great Procrastinator

I LOVE TO replace high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority. I ALSO LOVE doing stuff for my enjoyment, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time.
Lily, The Great Procrastinator once thought about conquering the Nation of Panem but chose to watch Sailor Moon instead.

Other people will lose interest in depending on you. To procrastinate could cause you to miss a very important meeting, the roof will link, that tire will blow, the Dog will eck in the house, your wife will leave you.
I'll do it tomorrow...Procrastinated homework that is incomplete...You will get an F . It's a very bad habit to get cought up with.

Do what has to be done, and do it now.
If you procrastinate it may never get done.
