In Europe they take their free time a lot more seriously. Technological advances have enabled workaholics and pushed borderline workaholics over the edge. Laptop computers, cellular phones and e-mail make working from anywhere, around the clock, easier than ever. Technology is perfect for it. It s everywhere.
Workaholism is working to the exclusion of everything else in one s life, say experts.
It is an addiction that causes an individual to become so obsessed with work that he is crippled emotionally and physically. Experts point out that there is a difference between hard workers and workaholics. Hard workers do what is necessary to complete the job. But when a project is done, they relax and take time off to spend with family and friends. Hard workers work long hours on a short-term basis with clear goals.
