WORKAHOLISM

A Workaholic in action

Today's fast-paced multitasking, and stressful world have resulted in us constantly working harder, longer, and faster to meet up with career targets.This is because the world judges our success by the value of our pay cheques, our position at our work places, the measure of recognition and appreciation we receive in the society. 


The result is; some of us becoming "WORKAHOLICS" (addicted to work), thereby spending more hours in the office rather than at home with family and friends. We barely sleep, socialize, or even have time for God or Church activities. Work, Work, Work! becomes our obsession. As such our efforts to accomplish loads of work at the shortest possible time have begun to take its toll on our mental and physical health, as well as Christian, family, and social lives without our realizing it. It is therefore paramount that we begin to deal with the bug "Workaholism", before it bites our health, family, christian, and social lives.

                     How do I know if I am a workaholic?

1. If you feel troubled when you do not work

2. If you find it hard to relax because you are not fully present in any environment other than the work place.

3. If your home is an extension of your office

4. If you are not a team player, and do not know how to delegate duties or responsibilities to others because you feel you are the best suited to handle the job or task.

5. If you are a perfectionist and nothing done by others is ever good enough for you.

6. If you do not have free time for God, yourself, family, and friends. 

7. If you feel that people will like you more if you appear more competent than you actually are. 

8. If you feel that sleeping, being involved in God's work, recreational activities are a waste of time.

9. If your conversations are centered around your work place or topics, and you always direct every conversations you are engaged in to your work.

10.If you justify your obsessive work habits by claiming that all of those long hours spent at the office are all for the good of your family.
