Health reminder: in modern society, many people are forced to become "workaholic". Let's not say whether the work without sleep is psychopathic. At least, workaholic has become a machine that ignores emotions while overdraft health.
Is workaholic a psychopath?
Previously, in the dictionaries of Japan, China and many other countries, 'workaholic' was listed as commendatory or at least not derogatory. Many people (most of them are business owners and unit leaders) also feel that the "selfless work" of "workaholic" has brought great benefits to the enterprise or the unit, and has set a model for colleagues. Therefore, most of the workaholic are often rated as' advanced models' and become 'backbone' or 'red men'.
However, Professor Spencer, an American psychologist, points out that workaholic is a kind of psychosis, which is especially common among the low and middle managers in various units. There are essential differences between workaholics and those who are enthusiastic about their work. The former often do not love their own work and are generally hard to get happiness from their work. They just work hard to get some kind of psychological relief. In addition, they often force themselves to be 'perfect' in their work. Once there are problems or mistakes, they are ashamed and anxious, but they refuse the help of others; The latter love their work very much and can get great pleasure from their work. When they make mistakes, they will neither complain nor be upset. On the contrary, they will intelligently correct their goals or mistakes. At the same time, they also pay attention to coordination and cooperation with colleagues and superiors, so their interpersonal relationship is relatively harmonious. The assessment shows that although the workload of the former is much larger than that of the latter, the work efficiency and quality are obviously inferior to the latter.
Five symptoms to judge whether you are workaholic or not
In fact, many workaholics don't know that they are workaholics, even if they feel tired, sleep abnormally, and feel pressure doubled, they are also "obsessed". From the following five symptoms can be judged whether a person is a workaholic.
First, focus on work, even at home or at social events.
Second, they are reluctant to delegate to others because they need a sense of control.
Third, ignore other aspects of life, because workaholics always put work ahead of family and private life.
Fourth, or integrate other aspects of life into work, because for workaholics, there is no boundary between leisure and work. He may turn his personal relationship with friends into a business partnership and even let his wife serve as a secretary. Fifth, work in secret. Like other addictions, workaholics often try to hide their work addiction without letting others know. If you find that you need to lie to someone else about it, there's a problem.
How to deal with the sick workaholic?
Experts suggest: if you find that you have some typical symptoms of workaholic, you should first consciously reduce the pressure of work and force yourself to reduce the workload. The specific approach is as follows: you may as well make a work schedule, write down all the current work items and working hours one by one, and then consider which can be abandoned completely, or at least temporarily, and which can be completed by others or cooperation with others. At the same time, attention should be paid to improving work efficiency.
Finally, work out a new work schedule, and ask family members or colleagues to supervise. In addition, it is advisable to cultivate some amateur hobbies that are not related to work and enrich their spare time life. If they can receive scientific treatment from psychologists, the situation will be better. Another new finding of experts is that the generation of workaholics may also be closely related to the education they received in their childhood.
In fact, among the workaholics, 80-90% of them were severely educated as children by their parents who were eager for success. In such a family, parents' expectations of their children are often too high or even too high. Poor children will be criticized and even severely punished if they miss something. Finally, children may have psychological obstacles. If this continues, children will become "workaholic" when they grow up.
Psychological case: who says I am a workaholic
Guo Jian said that he has a typical "computer face". Except for the frown, it can be said that he has no expression. When his fingers are habitually tapping on the desktop, it shows that he is thinking. Punch in at 8:50 a.m. and clock out before 21:00 p.m. every day. When the wife opens the door, she says, "it's so early to come back today.".
During the day, he was held by the superior and held meetings with his subordinates. From the evening, the sales situation of the products in the whole country would be fed back one after another. In the frequent ringing of the telephone, he often forgot to have dinner. When PI xingdaiyue returns home, the child is already asleep. Before he is 35, he will fall asleep. After 35, he often loses sleep.
Six days a week this cycle, Sunday rest. But Guo Jian doesn't like weekends, children's noise, wife's nagging let him prefer to hide in the office to watch the afternoon ball game. He also hated eating, drinking and socializing, and the office made him feel comfortable and safe.
With tens of millions of sales tasks every quarter, he will always be like a piece of wind full of strings in the company. When he wakes up in the morning, his increasingly obvious pain is only known to him. He didn't want to tell whether the high-speed job was more happy or more painful. His work has stipulated his biological clock and mental inertia. When he is suddenly given a job, he guesses that his body will collapse immediately. A colleague once set a record of "workaholic" who got married in the afternoon and was still working in the morning. He often comforted himself with this: who said I was a workaholic.
The solution: give yourself half an hour a day
Give yourself half an hour a day as a holiday, and do simple gymnastics or just take a deep breath. This is a necessary period of time to take care of yourself. It must not be ignored because of the busy work. Don't take your troubles to bed. It's silly to bring any troubles to sleep.
If there is physical overdraft, you can add some vitamin B, magnesium and calcium, or take a bath, drop a little lemon or thin Heze in the water, which can relieve fatigue. To plan your own habits, you should divide the things on your head into four categories: do the things you want to do immediately, postpone the things you don't need to solve for a few days, and give up the things you don't need to do.
