> Noun - *trifling* - the deliberate act of delaying and playing instead of working

[TFD][1]

Or 

> Noun - *dawdling* - an act of going very slowly and wasting time.

[TFD][2]

Both are single words that describe time-wasting activities without swearing. Trifling is derived from trivial, which is appropriate in this case, and dawdling sounds like doodling, another way to waste time.

I would choose my words because they add more of a descriptive and evocative setting to a given scenario. Trifling is frivolous and playful time-wasting, dawdling sounds lazy and aimless.

Also,

> Loiter - verb -  To stand idly about; linger without any purpose.

[TFD][3]

which has a more legalistic side to it.
