Procrastination-to put off till another day or time; defer; delay.
I've been writing this 20 page essay for the past couple of weeks for my composition class. The paper is within completions reach, but procrastination is in effect right about now!

Planning will save you the stress and time you need in completion of any task that lies ahead of you. Just food for thought....
