Frizzy Hair, Frazzled Nerves: Women Need 82 Extra Minutes A Day To Get Everything Done!

The chorus to the Whitney Houston classic “I’m Every Woman” may need to be updated to, “I’m every woman, I’m so busy!” That’s because a new survey finds with all the things filling her daily to-do list, the average woman needs far more than 24 hours to accommodate her jam-packed schedule.

More specifically, the survey of 2,000 American women, commissioned by skin and hair product company Garnier Fructis, found that women would require 82 extra minutes a day just to complete all the daily tasks they set out to do.

The survey’s results showed that women still shoulder the bulk of domestic tasks, and are getting busier. More than half of the respondents (55%) said they feel too busy to keep up with all ongoing tasks — which include chaperoning children, running errands, managing work, or catching up with friends. Seven in ten respondents always feel rushed when they’re getting ready to leave the house.

And despite all the running around, the researchers found that the average woman has 19 days per month where things just don’t go as planned.

Overall, mornings were by far the busiest part of the day for those surveyed, with a typical morning routine requiring 55 minutes of their time.

Whitney Houston is definitely a good example of a woman's chaos. Sad to think someone who had everything still couldn't find happiness

Add 30 minutes for nagging.

For nagging? Well, who's gonna do it if we don't? Somebody's gotta keep the men straight.

The women bring it on themselves. No one else is responsible for their time management skills, or lack thereof.
