Definition
Workaholism is the addiction to work, where a person feels compelled to work excessively. It's not just about working hard; it's about an unhealthy obsession that interferes with personal relationships and well-being. Imagine it as being addicted to a video game, but instead of leveling up a character, you're chasing work tasks. Workaholics often find it hard to relax or switch off from work, even when they are on vacation. This can lead to burnout, stress, and neglecting other important aspects of life. It's like a hamster on a wheel, constantly running but not really getting anywhere.
