You will see that word used a lot through your school years. It means that someone has waited uptil the last possible minute to do something. An example- Say you have a project due on December 1- and you have known about it for months-- doesnt matter because you waited until the night befor to even start. That is Procrastinating.

To wait to the last minute to get something done. It means you keep putting something off until it is almost too late. Kind of like you are doing!

Procrastination is the deferment or avoidance of an action or task and is often linked to perfectionism. For the person procrastinating this may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of productivity, the creation of crisis, and the chagrin of others for not fulfilling one's responsibilities or commitments. While it is normal for individuals to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological or physiological disorder.
The word itself comes from the Latin word procrastinatus: pro- (forward) and crastinus (of tomorrow). The term's first known appearance was in Edward Hall's Chronicle (The union of the two noble and illustre famelies of Lancestre and Yorke), first published sometime before 1548.[1] The sermon reflected procrastination's connection at the time to task avoidance or delay, volition or will, and sin.

Don't keep putting off doing something. Making excuses not to do something
