Introduction

Workaholism is a comparatively modern phenomenon. There has been a disturbing trend in a majority of people, growing addicted to work. Apart from this, affecting their general health, in the long run, it is also going to adversely affect their domestic happiness. This book is going to give you plenty of tips on how to recognize workaholism and how to manage it.

Workaholism is some sort of obsession. In fact, there are a number of people I know, who begin to feel guilty, if they do not do one particular work at one given scheduled time. There is something wrong in the state of matter somewhere, if they are found enjoying themselves at a time, when they would usually be chained to a desk. And that is why they get stressed out, and spoil the enjoyment of everybody around them, because they are not at their desk, beavering away.
If you are surprised at this, do not be. I come in that particular category. Since my 20s, I found myself getting upset, when I was not at my piles and miles and miles of files, doing a hard days’ work. I used to get annoyed, if somebody interrupted just to pass the time of the day. The seniors loved me, my peers kept contemplating justified pesticide because according to them, I was showing them up by pretending to be so dedicated and hard-working and earnest and all that jazz. It was also playing merry – pranks with my personal life, because I was missing out on important family occasions and obligations, because I was so busy working.

I remember one of my friends just joking about a new fragrance for perfumes. Just add a little bit of the fragrance of dust from the file storage cabinet and an aroma of old files and papers, with a little bit of a woodsy smell reminiscent of an office desk. That would be a hit perfume for workaholics.

So how do you recognize the fact that you are a workaholic? Are your feet tapping as you read these words, because you just want to get to your files? Do you have your cell phone, right on the table, ready to message you with some work or message from your office? Do you check your email, three times a day, every day, or even more, to see the status of what is going on in the office?
