China Daily:職場女性每天只有30分鐘“個人專屬時間”

Sarah Jessica Parker recently played a frantic working mother struggling to "have it all". But it seems life is imitating art as women across the country are so busy juggling their work and home lives - they barely have any time to themselves. It's no wonder when 75% of Brits work 12 hour days - with 31% admitting to 30 minutes "me-time'" on an average day, a survey revealed. Their lives are so hectic 63% admit recording a TV show - just so they can fast forward the adverts to save time, according to the research carried out by cupcake company Green's. The survey also saw 1/3 of women vote for "lying in" as their top activity should they be given more "me-time". Some 55% are always fighting against the clock while 60% never get the time for a to-do list. 1/3 of women often wake in the middle of the night panicking about what they need to do the next day - reminiscent of a scene in the film where Kate, played by Parker, is unable to sleep as she thinks of her schedule for the morning ahead. Plus 47% rarely have time to themselves. They are spending considerably more time than men on daily activities such as chores and cooking with 39% dedicating more than two hours to household chores, compared to just 15% of men. 1/5 of women spend more than two hours running errands, with only 11% of men doing the same.
