To put something off as long as possible, put it at the very bottom of your "to do" list because it's usually something you don't want to deal with or don't have the energy to do because you don't like that specific task. And to ask a question in order to learn something never makes a person an idiot. You're an idiot only if you don't care to learn. To procrastinate generally refers to neglecting to do things out of carelessness or laziness. If you have a homework assignment due on Tuesday, and you wait until late Monday night to start it, you are a procrastinator. It's just not a high on your list of priorities at the moment. people generally procrastinate when there's no immediate reward to be gained. Like, taking out the garbage can wait until later. Right now, my favorite tv show is on. And guess what, you go to bed and forget to take out the garbage. And the next morning, you hear the garbage truck coming down the street, and you barely get the garbage to the curb on time because you procrastinated.
It's just a big word for putting things off (usually duties) until the last possible moment.

Do you extremely favor to bypass there. Yopu do recognize the phraseology problem-free era changed into likely coined by using christrians. after all, that's not christ era that's christian era. that's no secret that christians have ruled the planet militarily for the most suitable 2000 years. even even as the "BC" designation changed into person-friendly it in basic terms shown what each body already knew, the romans wanting to make their calendars coincide with their new discovered faith. i'm sensible if muslims take over they'll chaznge the calendars to bigger healthful their beliefs and which will make it no more beneficial or a lot less valid.

For example:
Let's say you got a science project due next week but a cute guys asks you out on a date tommorrow. So you decide to put it off til the next day. And you keep on doing it, until it's the last minute.

it just means to put things off and be lazy. To leave things that need to be done to the last minute. Don't feel like an idiot. It's okay.

I believe it's spelled "procrastinate." It means to habitually put off doing something until a later time, usually due to laziness or lack of prioritization.

Procrastinate means to put something off. Like when you wait to the last minute to do an assignment you knew you had to do all week.

It means to put something off until later because you don't feel like doing it now. It's usually an unpleasant task, like cleaning, or homework.
