Stress by Workaholism

 Tems like "workaholic", "mental health day", "stress leave" are relatively new, and quickly becoming popular vocabulary. At one time, people who worked more than 40 hours a week were in the minority, and dual income families were rare. Nowadays overwork may seem like more of a necessity than a way to get ahead. Overwork may also be turning into a habit that is difficult to curb.



One way to ease the tension of overwork is to enforce breaks. Force yourself to take a 15 or 20 minute break every 2 hours. At first you may not feel like you have time for these breaks, but in reality, breaks are conducive to productivity.
