Do you constantly find yourself thinking about work, even during downtime?

A study published in the “Journal of Occupational Health Psychology” found that workaholism is linked to poor well-being. Specifically, researchers discovered that workaholics experience higher levels of stress, burnout, and anxiety compared to non-workaholics. The study concluded that the constant drive to work, without adequate rest or recovery, can lead to significant mental and physical health issues. Prioritizing balance is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. Here are 3 solutions if you’re noticing the signs of being a workaholic:

1. Set Clear Boundaries: Define when work starts and ends each day, and stick to it.

2. Prioritize Downtime: Make time for hobbies, relaxation, and activities that bring you joy.

3. Unplug Regularly: Disconnect from work-related devices and notifications to recharge.

Your productivity will thrive when you take care of yourself first! Remember, your well-being is just as important as your productivity. For more insights, check out my podcast on YouTube:
