Another method to spot workaholism is to consider what you are willing to give up for a job. A poll conducted by USA Today between 1987 and 2008 revealed what people forfeit in order to keep on top of their profession and work and retain the feeling of being busy. Sleep is the number one activity sacrificed on the altar of workaholism, according to 56 percent of respondents. Recreation (52 percent) and hobbies (51 percent) were the 2nd and 3rd most popular pastimes, respectively. Socialization is also impacted: 44 percent of respondents said they sacrifice time with friends, while 30 percent said they sacrifice time with their families.
