How would you formulate this sentence in proper English?

"I hate Mondays and I take ages to get ready for the day. To be honest, I try to put off my departure as further as I can.

Obviously, the bold part isn't idiomatic and might even be grammatically incorrect (not sure though). How would you reword it? I'm particularly interested in the underlined part.

Say:

I put off my departure as long as I possibly can.

Or:

I put off my departure until the last-minute.

What word did I leave out?
 
How about to put off leaving home?
