The Top “Boring” Tasks We Actually Enjoy Include Grocery Shopping, Budgeting, and Doing Laundry
Boring chores that people adults like doing. No really.
Am I the only one who STILL doesn’t feel like a full-fledged adult? A new SWNS poll found one in four Americans didn’t feel like a true grown-up until they hit their late-20s. Another 6% said mid-30s. (Maybe I’ll get there by my mid-60s.)
One sign you’re a real adult is when you start enjoying the mundane things you thought you’d never like. For example, 77% find cleaning to be “therapeutic.” The most satisfying spot to clean is the living room, followed by the kitchen.
They asked people to name the top “boring” tasks they’ve come to enjoy as an adult. Here’s the list . . .
1. Shopping for groceries. 65% of us like it.
2. Balancing your budget
3. Doing dishes
4. Laundry
5. Vacuuming
More boring chores that people adults like doing. Oh we got ’em…here’s the second half of the story:
6. Cleaning or sanitizing your home
7. Picking up around the house
8. Cooking for yourself
9. Cooking for your family
10. Yard work
Around a third of us also enjoy planning out our meals, paying bills, and scheduling appointments.
We like shopping for boring stuff too. The top boring items we like picking out are new appliances, new dishes or silverware, and new stationary. (SWNS / LG)
