question
procrastinate

Delay or postpone action; put off doing something Derivatives procrastinator 1 Pronunciation: /prə(ʊ)ˈkrastɪneɪtə/ noun Example sentences Most of you have sent out your invites to your respective Oscar soirées already, but to those procrastinators (like me), here are some invite suggestions, taken from my very own experiences.

Apparently, we are not only procrastinators and malingerers but a bunch of lily-livered cowards because going to the dentist tops the list, followed by exercising and saving money. procrastinatory 2 Pronunciation: /prə(ʊ)ˈkrastɪnət(ə)ri/ adjective Example sentences I ought also to catalogue my entire CD collection for insurance purposes but I'm not currently in need of THAT much procrastinatory activity. Most importantly, procrastinatory behaviour is based on perceived workloads and deadlines, and it can not be assumed that perceptions are always perfect. Actually I shall probably take advantage of a little light dialup for a while, so frantic procrastinatory posting may well still regularly occur.
