aliexpress, Global online retail marketplace part of Alibaba Group, launches a curious study on the importance of immediacy and time management in the day-to-day life of Spaniards. When ordering online, fast delivery is one of the priorities of today’s consumer, who values the speed of service above all else. For this reason, AliExpress Plaza, the channel within the marketplace for shipments within the Peninsula, maintains a firm commitment to making its service faster and faster, with delivery times of 1-3 days. But, are Spaniards that demanding in other types of life situations? Do you mind waiting? AliExpress has the answer.
Impatient by nature. Wait for the hot water to come out in the shower It is the daily situation that most irritates the Spanish in their day to day. It is closely followed by one of the tasks that takes the longest each year and that most exasperates the respondents: scheduling vacations with co-workers. Wait for the coffee to be made in the morningis the third ordinary situation for which it is most annoying to wait for the Spanish.
In recent years, immediacy has become the order of the day, but currents have also emerged that are committed to a more relaxed lifestyle. Asked about the concept slow life, more than a third of Spaniards (35%) say they agree with this philosophy and try to apply it in your day to day. Nevertheless, 60% find it difficult to apply this deceleration in their routine (Some say that, due to work, going slow can only be applied on weekends). Only 5% confess that the slowlife rhythm is not their thing, but rather they prefer speed and immediacy in day-to-day things.
New technologies
Technology has come to make life easier for us, but it has also brought us micro-waiting that exasperates at the same level as the analog ones. The survey carried out by AliExpress also asked about what situations derived from the use of new technologies are most annoying to wait for. First, the Spanish place the wait for a streaming video or movie to load (38%). They follow closely when a web page takes time to load after refreshing (23%) or wait for the phone to charge.
Wasting time vs saving it
Aware of the paradoxes of life, AliExpress asked the respondents about the situations with which they consider that they waste the most time. Choose what series or movie to put on and then fall asleep after 2 minutes is the biggest waste of time for 1 in 4 Spaniards. Who has not ever happened? Other classics like thinking about pending things when getting into bed either invent excuses to politely hang up when commercials call the mobile These are the situations of greatest loss of time indicated by the respondents.
But, for every waste of time there is a solution. How do the Spanish try to recover those lost seconds? 70% of Spaniards confess that they have walked (or run) up the escalator to save time.
Without a doubt, the Spanish do not lack ideas to save time: more than half of the respondents skip the intro of the episodes of the series you watch; more than 40% take the fastest route (even if you have to wander more or change your own route during the trip) or have breakfast standing up to leave home early in the morning; Y more than 30% already listen to WhatsApp audio at x1.5 or x2 speed.
Joaquín in LIDLT or Chanel winning Eurovision: the most imminent wishes
The impatience of the Spanish goes further and there are many situations, linked to the public sphere, that they hope will take place before the end of the year (and, if possible, as soon as possible).. If respondents could choose to have something happen immediately it is see the soccer player Joaquín as a commentator in the next edition of the Island of Temptations. And it is that so much talent could not stay in his stories.
And since we also love salsa – it couldn’t be any other way – after the great stir around it, the second most anticipated situation is that of see Chanel win the Eurovision Song Contest as representative of Spain.
Among the priorities of those surveyed would also be to see Paul Motorcycles as a guest of La Resistencia (and know how much money you have in the bank).
