All work and no play can make anyone dull, unhealthy and stressed out. But what would you call a person who chooses to be that way? You guessed it - a Workaholic!

Who is a Workaholic?

To put it simply, a workaholic is someone who is obsessed with and addicted to work. Such a person tends to spend too many hours at work and feels odd when he/she is not able to do so. With the increase of stress in our lives, most of us showcase obvious traits of being a workaholic without even being aware of it.

Go through the following common traits of workaholics and find out if you are one or not -

Work, Work and More Work: Is work constantly on your mind? Do you spend extra hours in the office in an attempt to get more done? Do you carry work back home and start following up on your mails and other pending work even at home?

Workaholics find it impossible to get work off their minds and often miss out on other important aspects of their lives such spending time with family, socializing etc.

No One But Me: Do you feel as though you are the only one who can handle the job really well? The need to complete every job themselves often makes workaholics slog over time, allowing them little time for themselves and an over busy work schedule.

What More Can I do?: Do you find yourself constantly thinking about what more it is that you can do? Maybe start a new business, collaborate with someone and expand your work? Workaholics often don't know where to draw the line.

Such addiction to work can have serious consequences on a person's health and well being. Such people suffer from headaches, anxiety and experience difficulty in sleeping. If you feel that you to are a workaholic, its time to step back and take it easy. Learn to relax and take care of your self.
