Actress Joanna Page encourages people to use the extra hour from the clocks going back this weekend for home tasks and requesting smart meter installations.

Actress Joanna Page is encouraging Brits to use the extra hour gained when the clocks go back this weekend for practical household tasks and to request smart meter installations. A survey of 2,000 adults found the average person has five permanent tasks on their to-do list, with some remaining unfinished for up to seven months. The most commonly neglected chores were sorting through clothes for charity donations and deep cleaning the bathroom or kitchen, both cited by 34% of respondents. Nearly half (48%) of those surveyed said they would need an extra 60 minutes daily to work through their seemingly endless lists.

Smart Energy GB has partnered with Page to promote using the 'Power Hour' to accomplish more around the home. Page, who described herself as a self-confessed procrastinator, said she is 'terrible at paperwork' but enjoys decluttering and sorting items for charity. As a mother of four, she noted the ongoing challenge of laundry management. The research also found that 61% of people experience a greater sense of accomplishment when they complete practical jobs around the home.
