When it comes to life events like applying for a job, buying a car or getting married, certain months are more advantageous than others. Want to ‘hack your year’? Here’s how to organise your calendar in a smarter, better way.
January is the best month to apply for a job as Google searches for 'jobs' peak in January but few of these Google-searchers actually to apply for jobs compared to other months. Also companies usually get their new hiring budgets for the year in January.
February is the best month to buy car insurance as CompareTheMarket advise that we are coming out of wintery conditions which decreases the chance of accidents which means cheaper premiums.
March is the best month to get married as you’re likely to reduce your expenses by getting married in an off-season month like March and late March weather is usually quite nice.
April is the best month try for a baby as both sperm health and quantity peak in spring with research shows the highest numbers of moving sperm in springtime and the lowest in the summer, while a Swiss study found that sperm concentration was also highest in the spring and lowest in summer.
May is the best month to make a life decision as we are out of the winter months which
can make many of us feel a bit lower, indecisive and more risk-averse. That means it is better to consider doing things with potentially serious consequences in late spring.
June is the best month to go to hospital as July onwards brings an influx of new medical graduates and the combination of newbie inexperience with fewer doctors familiar with their role leading to an increase in medical errors. Hospital admissions for many diseases peak in winter meaning hospitals are typically at very high occupancy levels throughout the winter and fewer beds available.
July is the best month to sit an exam as studies suggests that our ability to pay attention peaks in mid-summer due to the brain region that responds to changing day length, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, is the same one that controls the master circadian clock that regulates daily cycles in hormones, appetite, attention and mood.
August is the best month to buy a house as this is the month that most people decide to sell their house which offers the largest number of options to the buyer.
September is the best month to be born as researchers have found that September babies achieve better exam results, have better cognitive skills, are less likely to be bullied and more likely to attend university than even children born just slightly earlier in August.
October is the best month to buy stocks as stocks show weaker performance from May to October meaning they are cheaper to buy in October just before they perform stronger in the winter, from November to April, when their value increases again.
November is the best month to apply for a passport as passport applications are at a low in November, making it the best time to apply before applications jump in January, building to a summer rush as people scramble to get their passports renewed in time for their holidays abroad.
December is the best month to buy a car as car dealers typically have annual sales targets and are more motivated to offer good reductions to shift stock as the year end approaches.
