lollygagger
One who dallies
A lollygagger is someone who wastes time or dawdles instead of getting on with things.
The word carries a tone of mild, often affectionate exasperation: Quit being such a lollygagger and help me with these boxes.
It suggests aimless puttering rather than deliberate procrastination.
