Each person must determine what is best for his or her personal circumstances. Set the example at home for career development success and happiness. If not, consider a change. Unhappiness and burnout at work cause negative consequences at home. If you work constantly without taking a vacation, spend little quality time with family, and miss important milestones in loved ones' lives, muster the courage and willpower to make a change.
Workaholics are prone to depression, physical illnesses and heart attacks.
Don't wait for a crisis to alter a behavior you can do something about today. When you're on your deathbed, its one change you won't regret. Identify, sort out and talk about specific work-family concerns with your spouse and children. Develop a plan and routine to involve everyone in family decisions. Communication is vital to successful integration of work and family roles.
