Describe the common characteristics of workaholics.
(37) VerifiedMachlowitz identified five common characteristics that workaholics have in common. First, workaholics have strong self-doubts and are often gripped by a fear that they cannot accomplish their tasks. Second, workaholics prefer labor to leisure. Workaholics derive their greatest pleasure from the work they do. All other activities--family activities, recreation, socializing--take a second place to work, and are to be avoided, with the result that every spare moment is devoted to accomplishing work tasks. Third, workaholics make the most of their time. There is a need to maximize every moment; time is not to be wasted--something must be accomplished. Fourth, workaholics are vigilant about their use of time, always striving to devise time-saving strategies and ways to do more things simultaneously. Time-deepening, also known as multitasking, can lead workaholics to work even while eating and driving. Finally, workaholics blur the distinctions between business and pleasure. Since business is their primary source of pleasure, there is no line dividing the two.
