33 Years Olds Are The Busiest People In The UK
Research from Hotmail today, reveals being age 33 is the most action-packed year of people’s lives.
On average women aged 33 only devote one hour a day to themselves. Men manage to reap slightly more time for themselves than women, although it is perceived women are nearly three times busier than men.
This could be due to more women juggling senior level careers, getting married and having a family in their thirties. Ninety per cent of women are in agreement as they think they are busier than men, and unsuprisingly only eight per cent of men agree!
It seems to be all about work as 66 per cent of 33 year olds spend more than 38 hours per week in the office and 56 per cent regularly bring work home, so it’s not surprising that over a third only get five hours sleep a night, when seven is recommended.
60 per cent of 33 year olds only go out between once and twice a week while one in five don’t go out at all! They are also so hectic that they double book themselves 60 per cent of time.
And life just keeps getting busier as 65 per cent have five hours less free time per week than five years ago and 42 per cent lose out on a whole day less free time per week than five years ago.
Lisa Rogers, TV Presenter, Author, Actress, Wife and Mother of Two Daughters, commented: "Your thirties are a tough time; you’re juggling a career, friends and family, partners and often kids as well.
"It’s no wonder we double-book as it’s hard to keep track of all our plans and not disappoint people. I’ve got my fingers crossed that it will slow down at some point or perhaps our multi-tasking skills just grow with time so by our fifties we don’t feel as busy as we did 20 years before."
The new research found 33 year olds:
· only devote one hour a day to themselves
· 56% regularly bring work home
· One third get an average of five hours a sleep per night
· 60% double book work and social appointments
· One in five don’t go out to socialise
