Procrastination

Leaving things off until the very last minute, or completely blowing them off, regardless of the consequences.
Procrastination is knowing you have a really important paper due tomorrow, but you just can't find the motivation to do the work. It's already 3 am, and you still haven't done anything. Then you decide you're too tired and go to bed, figuring it won't be that bad to turn it in a day late. This situation can repeat itself many a time.
