The Top "Boring" Tasks We Actually Enjoy Include Grocery Shopping, Budgeting, and Doing Laundry

Kayla Morgan

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)

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
