Recently, we conducted a study of 4,000 UK and US consumers which found that most of us are in ‘admin hell’!

Most of us will spend a total of about five years of our lives doing admin, according to the study. On average, adults will typically spend 15 hours a week doing admin in their job and we end up wading through 290 admin tasks a month – with ‘anything to do with spreadsheets’, clearing out email inboxes and order management tasks among the most loathed.

Below, we’ve included a graphic that captures our Top 10 most loathed work admin tasks:
