Procrastination is the name of that habit: delaying work you ought to do, usually because you do not want to face it. English uses it as a thing you can have, fight, or laugh about — “My procrastination is getting worse.” It is a little more than the verb, so you meet it in essays, talks about study skills, and jokes about leaving everything until the night before. Though actually, people sometimes talk as if it were a disease; it is just a very common human pattern, not a special kind of that only some people have.
