How to use "Procrastination" in context?
Procrastination is defined as a habit of postponing or putting off tasks or activities because of difficulty or fear of doing them. It can be a problem in any area of life, but it is particularly common in areas that require effort, such as school, work, or personal projects. There are many reasons why people procrastinate, but most common is that they don't feel like the task is important enough.
