And if you really have time on your hands you could say "dejar las cosas para más tarde"

This is one of many Latin words that were added into the English language, but were lost as Latin developed into modern Spanish. Spanish has lost all traces of "cras" (tomorrow), which is where "pro-cras-tin-atio" comes from (pro - ahead, for + cras - tomorrow).

You have "aplazar las cosas", and many other alternatives... with depend on the context, as James said.

I used the word aplazar mis resposiblidades. This sounded good to me.

This is definitely one of those words that cannot be translated well without context, since there are many ways to express the idea in Spanish.
