ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

procrastinating

Procrastinating means putting off doing something even though you know you should do it. It's like when you tell yourself that you're going to do your homework, but instead you spend time doing something else like watching TV or playing video games. Procrastinating can make it harder to get things done on time, so it can be helpful to figure out why you're putting things off and try to plan ahead so you have enough time to finish everything.
