I think hiatus is not the right word to use.
Hiatus is a period of interruption in the continuity of a work or action.
The emphasis is continuity. The hiatus doesn't change the fact the work is continuous, and will carry on after the hiatus.
The right word is P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T-E.
To procrastinate is to put off until another time. And that's so tentative. So undefined. So uncertain. So unsecured.
Procrastination dulls me. Like a dull and blunt blade that cannot cut, even in the hands of a good chef.
Stamp out procrastination pleeeassseeeee!
