Worldbuilding sits at the procrastination nexus of multiple hobbies. Fiction writers, RPG GM campaign designers, video game designers, etc. For any of those activities, the need for doing coherent and good enough setting design becomes the tempting excuse to procrastinate on doing the actual thing (plot, character, gameplay design, whatever) and 'refine the worldbuilding', because while there is a necessary minimum of setting design, the line of when you have got enough setting design and are getting into diminishing returns is not bright. Signed - I'd rather write the history of the steam dragons' colonization of the western marshes than finish my protagonist's character arc refinements today, don't worry, I'll get to him soon.
