Part 3 of 3

"You might be a workaholic if..." could easily be a Jeff Foxworthy comedy line.  Just like his famous line, "You might be a redneck if..."

In my counseling men a regular occurrence is hearing guys talk about how much they work and how hard it is to stop thinking about work.  Just this week a guy who owns 10 different businesses said his mind races in bed at night.  Another guy came to his counseling meeting dead tired after working a double shift all night.

Are either of these guys' workaholics or are they just hard workers?  The difference between being a workaholic and not isn't so much about how many hours you work as it is the attitude you have about work.

Are you a workaholic?  Find out by taking the short Work Addiction Risk Test by psychologist Bryan E. Robinson published in the Wall Street Journal.  Click here to find out are you a workaholic.

What did you learn from the test?  I was reminded of a few areas in my life that I can improve.  Don't get too wrapped up in the term workaholic.  Just see what you can learn about how you can live your life in a more healthy way for you and your loved ones.  Below are some other articles on this blog that can help:
