> One phenomenon I've always noticed about workaholics is that they THINK they are being more productive, but often times they are just spending more time spinning their wheels. >The effect it has on their mood/interpersonal skills, and the pressure it puts on the rest of the team cancels it out. > You will perform better if you go to bed and get a full nights rest and clean your brain out All of these claims are situational and often untrue. It's entirely possible for workaholics to be more productive, inter-personally smooth, and a team player. The most convincing reason to not be a workaholic is not that it's a counter-productive effort. It's that workaholism will lead to decreased long-term fulfillment (for most people).
