DILATORY

dilatory:
- tending to put off what ought to be done at once; given to procrastination
- marked by procrastination or delay; intended to cause delay
(Example: I am inclined to be dilatory, and if I had not enjoyed extraordinary luck in life and love I might have been living with my mother at that very moment, doing nothing. [Reference: Carroll O'Connor, I Think I'm Outta Here])
