Using 拖三拉四 and talking about procrastinating in Chinese
I want to talk about procrastination in Chinese.
I found this idiom 拖三拉四 and I think it could be used in this way.
I have tried to make some sentences using it, please can you correct them. Thank you.
星期二我就要参加考试了,现在我该复习很忙,可是我现在拖三拉四,而不是学习。
I'm taking an exam on Tuesday, I should be busy revising now, but I'm procrastinating rather than studying.
我很快有考试, 我应该学习, 而不是拖三拉四。
I have an exam soon, I should be studying not procrastinating.
我又拖三拉四了!我真的需要停止这样做。
Procrastinating again! I really need to stop doing that.

星期二我就要參加考試了,現在應該忙於複習功課才對,
可是我現在依然拖三拉四的,沒專心於學習。

別再 ”拖拖拉拉” 了 下周二就要考試了
改變你 ”推三宕四” 的壞習慣 學習才有可能進步
“磨磨蹭蹭” 的個性是他交不到女朋友的原因
欠債還錢是天經地義的事 你就別再 ”七拖八欠” 的了

我觉得相较于"拖三拉四",
"怠惰因循" will be a more precise idiom for procrastinating.
