dilatory

Pronunciation: dil-uh-tohr-ee (listen to it on m-w.com)

Adjective: tending to or intending to cause delay; slow, tardy.

Etymology: 13th century in legal terms (a dilatory plea), more common usage dates from the 16th century. Middle English (Anglo-French) dilatorie, Latin dilatus (past participle of differre, to delay).

Usage: Google book search results are incredibly boring and consist mostly of a) law related texts, b) books on boys' behavior, c) dictionaries, and d) medical or scientific research texts so here's an example of usage I made up: Due to my dilatory nature, this blog entry sat around for over a month before I finally posted it.
