[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] As the demand for self-management rises with the New Year, it has been found that 8 out of 10 adults in South Korea have personal routines (habits or procedures performed daily) and practice an average of 1.6 routines per day.

On the 17th, Hunet's growth management app 'Grow' announced that a survey conducted with Open Survey targeting 1,000 adult men and women showed these results.

According to the survey, 77.9% of respondents said they practice an average of 1.6 routines per day. Respondents who said they practice two routines accounted for 32.7% of the total. Specifically, 1 routine (25.1%), 0 routines (16.4%), 3 routines (12.8%), and 5 or more routines (5.8%) followed in order.

In terms of routine practice areas (multiple responses allowed), lifestyle habit routines were the most common at 48.6%. This was followed by exercise (40.5%), morning routines (26.4%), hobbies (24%), and work (21%). Notably, women's lifestyle habit routines (54.4%) and exercise routines among those in their 50s (46.8%) recorded higher response rates compared to the average.

The company added that lifestyle habits also accounted for the largest share at 27% in the goal areas within the Grow app. Typical goals include waking up early, planning the day, and drinking water. Recently, more than 1,000 people participated in the 'Miracle Morning Challenge,' a self-development activity during morning hours, reflecting its popularity.

Activities to maintain routines included 'writing a diary or journal' (36.7%), 'informing people around them about their activities' (30.3%), and 'using routine-related apps' (23%).

When asked about the reasons for practicing routines, many answered 'for self-management' (57.1%) and 'for efficient use of time' (42%).

Choi Dongyoung, team leader of Grow, said, "This year, 'proper lifestyle routines' have been selected as a noteworthy keyword," adding, "The trend of self-management through routines is evident not only in the survey results but also in the Grow app."
