pedestrian = related to walking (ped = foot) 行人，行人使用的

A pedestrian bridge

a pedicure = a cure for your feet

a massage

Massage girls know the human body very well and can press sensitive points to help people relieve their stress.

人行道 pavement, sidewalk

Pedestrians should always walk on the sidewalk.

There are a lot of pedestrians in that area of town.

I love pedestrian areas like People Square, Xintiandi or Lujiazui.

Edited version

Today was a  busy day for me, I went to the  construction site as normal work as each Wednesday morning. In the afternoon, I was busy with my  project. To be honest, I often procrastinate with my project starts until the deadline draws near and it can’t be delayed any more. Of course, I know that is a bad habit.

If you use “I was doing”, then the action must be stopped by something

I was doing…. 我作着

I was running 我跑着 

I was running when I fell 我跑着跑着就摔跤了

I was procrastinating until my boss came.

I was procrastinating until the deadline drew near.
