can wait

Low priority matter

Something that can wait is not urgent and may be postponed without serious consequence: The dishes can wait—let's watch the movie first.

Often used to dismiss a task in favor of something more pressing or appealing.

The negative can't wait expresses eager anticipation: I can't wait to see you.
