Workaholism doesn't just affect your work; it impacts every aspect of your life. The constant stress and pressure can lead to serious health problems, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and heart disease. Overworking also strains personal relationships, as loved ones may feel neglected or unimportant.
Consider the scenario of an entrepreneur who consistently prioritises work over spending time with family. Over time, this can lead to feelings of isolation, resentment and even the breakdown of important relationships. On the health front, constant stress and lack of rest can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to illness.
We must understand these consequences in order to take proactive steps and achieve a better work-life balance. This might involve setting clear work hours, delegating tasks, or simply taking regular breaks to recharge.
