Do you need more free time?

March 5th, 2009

Demanding workloads and longer commutes are eating away at our free time more than ever before, leaving the average Briton tired and stressed, and cutting the time they spend with their families, according to research by swiftcover.com, the UK’s only fully online car insurer.

swiftcover.com’s ‘Get a Life’ survey found that 46% of people say they have a lot less free time than they did three years ago, with almost half of those surveyed (49%) saying that their working day now stretches to between 9 and 11 hours including commuting time.

It isn’t just the employed that work long hours. According to an article in The Telegraph a mother’s working day is 15 hours long!

As a result people are trying to be more efficient with their time by carrying out some mundane chores on the internet. More people are doing their weekly food shopping, present buying and sale shopping online. According to an article on The BBC, books are sold on the internet more than any other product.

With the increased lack of time and the current credit crunch, now is a great time to get online and save some money. If you are currently looking for car insurance visit swiftcover.com, they are consistently voted as a cheap car insurer.
