Tax season has finally come to a close, but it’s not the only thing that people find “taxing.”
In fact, some things tax us all year long.
The consumer e-newsletter Shop It To Me wanted to know about the biggest drags on daily routines, so we could help with some solutions. Here’s what we learned about the most taxing parts of your day.
Who hasn’t awoken in the morning and wished for a personal valet, makeup artist or chauffeur to get them out the door?
According to our survey, more than 50 percent of people find personal grooming (shower/shave, hair/makeup) and deciding what to wear to be the most taxing parts of the morning routine (28 percent and 25 percent respectively). The commute to work rounded out the top three responses with 19 percent of the vote.
During the day, about 40 percent of people say that completing their daily to-do list is most taxing.
Responding to emails and phone calls came in second at 20 percent, and handling miscellaneous administrative tasks was third at 19 percent.
At night, completing household chores (30 percent), making dinner (23 percent) and getting to the gym/working out (21 percent) are the things that tax us the most.
Methodology: Results are based on 480+ respondents from a survey fielded by Shop It To Me in early April 2012.
