I've never heard anyone say, "I keep putting off playing baseball," or, "I keep putting off eating ice cream."

Sometimes I find myself putting off playing video games. Which is kind of confusing to me, because procrastination is usually done to avoid doing things one doesn't really want to experience the doing of, but apparently it's not that unusual for people to fail to get around to finishing games...
