Oricon Survey – professional Japanese want to get more exercise, stop wasting money, quit their jobs

ZAKZAK reports on a recent Oricon online “monitor” survey of professionals aged 20-49. When asked a multiple-answer question on what activities they want to “graduate from” (read: grow out of), they gave the following top responses:

1. Lack of exercise (37.9%)
2. Wasteful spending (27.8%)
3. Being too easy on myself (26.4%)
4. Between-meal snacks (23.3%)
5. Negative thinking (20.4%)
6. Being single (19.9%)
7. Wasting time (18.8%)
8. My current workplace (18.3%)
9. Habit of skipping things/being lazy about doing things (18.3%, tied for 8th)
10. Staying up too late (16.5%)

The poll is positioned as a list of graduation season resolutions, as March is the time when most schools hold their graduation ceremonies just ahead of the new fiscal/scholastic year in April.
