5th July: NATIONAL WORKAHOLICS DAY

National Workaholics Day on July 5th reminds us to balance our work and home life. Work isn’t everything!  Do you come in early, skip your lunch and stay late or know someone who does?  This day is dedicated to the people who fit that description – the workaholics.

When is World Health Day?

A workaholic feels the need to be busy at all times which may cause problems. They might perform tasks they are not required to do or are unnecessary for project completion.  These unnecessary tasks cause inefficiency where the focus should be on production.  Workaholics may have trouble delegating or entrusting co-workers with tasks. They struggle with organizational skills due to taking on too much work at one time. The solution for workaholics is to step back, regroup, and slow down a little bit.

When is World Mental Health Day?

Workaholics may suffer from impaired brain and cognitive function due to sleep deprivation. Take a look at National Work Like A Dog Day as one outcome of being a workaholic. Unlike other conditions, this one is socially acceptable.
