According to the dictionary, ′′ procrastinating ′′ is the act of postponing something for tomorrow; or again, it means some “postponement”. In other words, we can say that it is the act of leaving to carry out an obligation, task, commitment or responsibility at another time or day.

Procrastination often happens due to anxiety or insecurity, and not necessarily laziness. That's because we don't believe we can do a job well, and so we keep putting it off until we can't anymore. In such cases, it is necessary to treat the root of the problem to overcome procrastination.
