Profaffinating

The art or skill of professionally waisting time.

Chiefly UK English.

An amalgamation of pro + faff

Somewhat akin to procrastinating, instead of thinking it would relate to waisting time.

For example. When leaving your house, then returning to collect your phone, then leaving again to return to pick up an umbrella.

Sorry we're late we were profaffinating.

Yesterday i profaffinated for so long i missed the last bus.

You deserve a gold medal for time spent profaffinating
