To make life more simple.
87 per cent of Canadians said that is what they're aiming for in a recent poll done for Simplii Financial.
Laundry, chores and home maintenance are the biggest time suck at 47 per cent, followed by grocery shopping at 40 per cent.
The other things that drain time, money and energy are:
- cluttered living space (40 per cent)
- fitness regime (39 per cent)
- garage, basement or storage locker (37 per cent)
Almost 30 per cent of those surveyed said they would benefit from simplifying their banking and their bill payments, while 26 per cent say their email inboxes need some attention.
“Canadians are finding life too busy in many ways and want fewer burdens and more joy. The start of the year is the perfect time to put a plan in place to reduce wasted time and energy and clear the way for what really counts,” Simplii Financial Vice-President, Corby Fine, said in a release.
“Think about how you can do less – less clutter, less waste, less spending – to do more of what you want in the year ahead.” Fine added.
