atrasar / demorar / postergar Explanation: Hi. There is no direct translation as a noun. None of the verbs that I have mentioned above has a nominal inflection. Therefore, you should try to construct an expression using any of the above verbs, according to your context, for example: "... alguien que habitualmente deja todo para después" "... afecto a atrasar / demorar / postergar ... sus acciones" Hope it helps.

desidioso Explanation: Notice the spelling. "Desidia" is a word used for that quality of procrastinating, and this adjectival form would be readily understandable. |
