5 Truths every workaholic needs to know

For people who think that working harder means being more productive, Caroline Bottle reminds you that the body is paying the price, even if the person does not realize it. Working too much increases the risks of anxiety, depression and cardiovascular disease. And, she warns, be careful: these five truths will change the way you see your work rhythm:

1. Productivity plummets after 50 hours a week. Studies show that after 50 hours of weekly work your productivity drops dramatically.

2️. After a certain point, you are only wearing out. Your body is already suffering ¡only you do not yet realize.

3️. Time is the most precious resource and does not come back. Remember: time is not renewable, when you work more than necessary, you are sacrificing moments with important people and this time does not come back.

4. Being busy does not define your value. You do not need to be busy to be important. One of the main internal saboteurs is the hyper-realizer, who understands that it only has value when it is producing.

5. Burnout is not a trophy and not a reason for pride. Respecting your limits is a sign of strength and emotional intelligence.
