It has recently been revealed that delegating unpleasant tasks can increase a person’s happiness. This was tested against the expected joy of purchasing material objects. The study was performed by researchers at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School and tested whether consumers were more likely to experience joy when they purchased a possession versus spending their money on avoiding a chore that gave them more free time. It was shown that when escaping a task, more people revealed a greater level of satisfaction.
This finally proves that you can buy happiness, you just have to spend your money on freeing your schedule from undesired obligations. While this may be thought of as lazy it actually leads to a greater level of well-being in ones life. Study participants reported an increased degree of delight when releasing household chores such as cleaning, cooking, or yard care. This helped eliminate the daily pressures of life and work on top of an already filled calendar.
