Workaholics Day

Workaholics are pretty easy to spot. They are the first people to enter the office in the morning and the last to leave at the end of the day. On Workaholics Day, salute the workaholics in your office and help them relax.

If you are related to a workaholic, today is an especially important day for you. Pry this person away from his or her desk. Show them the benefits of a day off! Take an afternoon nap, read a book or procrastinate on the web. Tell them that they can finish their work tomorrow!

Workaholics Day is also a good opportunity to take a step back and evaluate your work ethic. Recognize the tremendous dedication that workaholics show but also think about the advantages of breaks. Today, try to work at a pace that achieves a happy medium. Find your balance!

 Quote of the Day:


"You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world."
