Top 5 Ways To Check If You Are A WorkaholicEvery one of us has our own professional goals and achievements set in our mind and we try so many different techniques to achieve those. Some people prefer to work longer time and compromise other activities such as less sleep or neglect their personal life for fast achievements of professional goals and some other achieve success by prioritizing their work, organizing it and working on time.
Here you have to decide that which type of achiever are you? If you fall in the first category then you are a workaholic person. Most of us feel bad to hear that we are workaholic but it is better to know what type of worker you are and try out different solutions to balance your professional and personal life if required.
Here are the few symptoms of workaholics. Just compare your professional life with these symptoms and you will get the answer to your question.
1. If you are not able to meet your professional goals daily, work evenings and weekends to achieve your target or meet the responsibilities then you fall in the category of workaholic.
2. If you hardly take leave from your work and when you do, you work at your home then you are a serious workaholic. It is not at all good for your life.
3. You have full of workload and can’t make a plan with your friends or family without checking your voice mail, email or blackberry and even after making a plan you hardly go with them because of some urgent work to complete then you definitely fall in the category of workaholics.
4. If you are missing out your family vacations, you don’t know your child’s best friend name or your wife’s favorite T.V show, or you don’t remember when the last time you had a dinner with your best friend then it is the time to wake up.
5. If you don’t get time for yourself as most of your time either spend at your workplace or by fulfilling the requirements of your family members and friends then you are a workaholic.
Time waits for no one, when it's gone it's gone. All the money in the world will not buy back your health and well being. It's a trade off and the only winner here is the one who profits from your losses. It's a slippery slope to climb...you fall back more than you go forward.
