What’s the biggest waste of YOUR time? Meetings . . . attempting to reason with unreasonable people . . . mindless mobile games . . . social media?
According to a new survey, the average American spends 138 minutes WORRYING every day. That’s a long time . . . two hours and 18 minutes . . . almost the exact length of the “Star Wars” movie “The Force Awakens”.
There are a lot of motivational quotes about how worrying is a waste of time and energy . . . but that doesn’t stop people from obsessing over stuff.
In fact, 10% of young adults schedule dedicated “worry time” in their daily routines. Only about 3% of those 45 and older intentionally make time for it.
Why do they do that? Maybe they think worrying will be productive, or that dedicated times will help REDUCE it. 62% of Gen Z’ers and Millennials say they’re constantly feeling anxious . . . compared to 38% of older folks.
Many people find themselves worrying when they’re trying to fall asleep.
A ranking of the top things people worry about includes: Finances, followed by stuff like: Family . . . things you need to do . . . health . . . work . . . politics . . . and “getting enough sleep.”
