Sorting administrative papers , tidying up his dressing room , ironing his clothes , all that can wait until tomorrow ... or the day after tomorrow, when we will have the time and, above all, the motivation to do it! Delaying what you can do the same day is called procrastination . And according to the recent survey * of Needelp , the community platform for home-to-home services, in terms of gender, men procrastinate far more than women .

Man, champion of procrastination

The man more lazy than the woman? Thanks to Needelp, we have the proof:
- 56% of men surveyed prefer to delegate tasks compared to 47% of women.
- 22% of these men call on a professional, even at the price, or decide not to do anything at all about household chores. Comparatively, only 2% of women surveyed answered the same thing.
- Similarly, faced with a problem to be solved, 22% of men opt for a last minute solution. 41% of women prefer to find a solution right away and 30% give themselves a moment of reflection.

The household: the priority of women

Stereotypes have hard skin:
- 89% of women put the household at the top of their list of priorities and 78% of them consider it as one of the skills they master the most.
- 78% of men say the administrative tasks as a priority and it is gardening that comes top of the skills of 67% of respondents, in front of household chores.

But this gap has tended to decrease in recent years: according to INSEE, the average weekly time granted to housework for a man is 2 hours against 3 hours 26 for a woman (2010 figures), or respectively 1 minute more and 22 minutes less than in 1999.

* Survey conducted from March 1st to March 10th, on a panel of 7,400 French people aged 18 and over.
