Do you work a lot? If you work more than 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week, you might be a workaholic. Workaholic is someone who is addicted to working, just like an alcoholic is addicted to drinking. They always work and feel bad when they're not working, just like an alcoholic feels sick when they don't drink. If you look at how productive people are, you will see that they need a balance between working hard and having fun. To be successful, you need to be disciplined, and you can learn discipline by balancing your work and your free time. If you enjoy your personal life and do things you love, you'll actually be better at your job. It's not about working more; it's about working smarter and enjoying life outside of work.
