The Average American Spends 138 Minutes Worrying Every Day

According to a new survey, the average American spends 138 minutes WORRYING every day.  That’s a long time . . . two hours and 18 minutes . . . almost the exact length of the “Star Wars” movie “The Force Awakens”.

There are a lot of motivational quotes about how worrying is a waste of time and energy . . . but that doesn’t stop people from obsessing over stuff.

In fact, 10% of young adults schedule dedicated “worry time” in their daily routines.  Only about 3% of those 45 and older intentionally make time for it.

Why do they do that?  Maybe they think worrying will be productive, or that dedicated times will help REDUCE it.  62% of Gen Z’ers and Millennials say they’re constantly feeling anxious . . . compared to 38% of older folks.

Many people find themselves worrying when they’re trying to fall asleep.

A ranking of the top things people worry about includes:  Finances, followed by stuff like:  Family . . . things you need to do . . . health . . . work . . . politics . . . and “getting enough sleep.
