How Many of These 10 Time-Wasters are You Guilty Of?

We all waste a little time here and there looking for stuff like car keys and phones.

But we were surprised by the actual amount of time people waste looking for stuff.

Take a look at these time-wasters (via simplyorderly.com).

    • The average American wastes 55 minutes a day looking for things they own but can't find. That adds up to a whole year of life spent looking for stuff. 
    • 25% of two-car garage owners have so much clutter they can't fit a single car much less two.
    • The top 5 items men waste time looking for: clean socks, remote control, wedding album (huh?) car keys and driver's license. 
    • The top 5 items women waste time looking for: shoes, a child's toy, wallet, lipstick and remote control.
    • Reducing household clutter would eliminate 40% of housework in the average home.

  • 55% of Americans say they would save 16-60 minutes a day if they were more organized. That's 2-15 days a year spent looking for stuff!

  • 65% of Americans admit their household is at least moderately disorganized
Last but not least:
