The use of procrastination in a sentence

Hello!
Basically what I wanna say is that someone keeps on procrastinating.
Is it better to say "He wants to procrastinate a little more" or "He wants to procrastinate a little further"?
Is it the same? Should I use something else to explain the meaning more properly (without changing the structure of the phrase)?
Thanks!

The verb "procrastinate" is not used in phrases like "He wants to procrastinate a little..." or "...to procrastinate a little more/further." In a roughly similar context, you'd say something like:

He tends to procrastinate all the time.

He tends to procrastinate much of the time.

He tends to procrastinate out of habit.

He tends to procrastinate if not pushed.

It's the wrong word choice. You might try "delay" or "put it off".

He wants to delay a little longer. / He wants a longer delay.
He wants to put if off a little longer.
