Recently, we conducted a study of 4,000 UK and US consumers which found that most of us are in \u2018admin hell\u2019!<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of us will spend <\/span>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 \u2018anything to do with spreadsheets\u2019, clearing out email inboxes and order management<\/a> tasks among the most loathed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, we\u2019ve included a graphic that captures our Top 10 most <\/span>loathed work admin tasks:<\/span><\/p>\n
