Procrastinate vs Postpone



We use it when we want to talk about postponing some action that we need to do. Here are some ways to use it in sentences.
  • You have to go to the dentist! I know you hate going, but you can’t procrastinate any longer!
  • Make sure you apply for that job as soon as possible. If you procrastinate, you’ll lose your chance.
  • I always have to remind my husband to do things because he has a bad habit of procrastinating.
  • I wanted to get tickets for the Madonna concert, but I procrastinated and, by the time I called, the concert was sold out.

In English, the difference between this word and “postpone” is that “postpone” is neutral in meaning and “procrastinate” is always negative in meaning.
