Pr 6:

Being lazy and not working is not wise. It could be a sin. Work while you can. Ec 9:

10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
Pr 12 was getting more serious:

24 The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.
Jeremiah was against procrastination in 48:

10a Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD with slackness.
When it comes to accepting Jesus, it is a really bad idea to delay the decision. James 4:

The Bible does not clearly spell out that procrastination is a sin. However, James 4:

17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
If your conscience convicts you, then it is a sin.
