The High Cost of Being a Workaholic
变成工作狂的高代价
In a nation of overachievers, hard work is a virtue. If you work hard, you'll achieve your goals. If you work even harder, you'll achieve even more. Right?
在满是优等生的国度，勤劳是一种美德。如果你努力工作的话，你会实现你的目标。如果你更努力的话，你将得到更多。真的是这样吗？
Perhaps not. There are, in fact, several downsides to working too hard. Being the office workaholic can cost you coveted promotions, hurt your home life, and even turn friends into enemies. Evaluate yourself with the following five questions.
可能并不是这样的。实际上，工作太努力有很多不利面。成为办公室的工作狂会毁掉你梦寐以求的晋升机会，危害你的家庭生活，甚至会让朋友反目成仇。用以下5个问题来评估下你自己吧。
1. Are you busy ... or disorganized?
你是很忙还是无组织？
Are you constantly staying late and coming in early yet producing the same output as others? If so, your boss may come to view you as inefficient and possibly disorganized. Dave Cheng, an executive coach with Athena Coaching, says, "There are some people, type A's, who get a lot of satisfaction from doing lots of work, but the quality isn't necessarily superior."
你是否经常早到晚退，但和其他人的工作成效还是一样的？如果是这样的话，你的上司可能会开始觉得你是个做事没效率，甚至是没组织性的人。Athena Coaching公司的行政教练Dave Cheng说：“有很多人，A类人，他们从做很多工作中得到满足，但做事的质量却并不值得他们骄傲。”
Focus on getting your work done in a reasonable time frame. If you have perfectionism or time-management issues, ask your supervisor to help you prioritize things and learn when to let go of a task. Cheng says, "Just because you're working longer doesn't mean you're working better."
在一个特定的时间内专注地做完你的工作。如果你是十全十美主义论者，或在时间管理上有困难，那就叫你的主管帮你的工作区分出先后顺序，并学会放弃一项任务。陈说：“仅仅因为你工作的时间长并不能说明你工作得更好。”
2. Are you delegating ... or hoarding?
你在分权还是揽权
If you have any aspirations at all to move into management, you must learn to delegate work. Again, tasks need to be completed in a timely fashion; if you're having trouble finishing a project, you must delegate to other team members, even if you happen to relish the task you're giving away.
如果你非常渴望进入管理层，那你必须学会减少工作量。再次强调，工作任务需要及时完成。如果你在完成一个项目时碰到了困难，那你就要分给其他队员一起做，即使你这样做会被人取笑。 |
