People Over 40 Should Work Only Three Days every week, Study Says
Work-life Balance:
Many employers give hypocrisy to a desire to permit their employees a work-life balance. In fact, most of the people who work on a management level are routinely required to figure far more than 40 hours each week—most often without additional pay. Telecommuting has become increasingly popular across industries; while doing so may be a time- and money-saver, having the ability to figure remotely means you’ll (and are often expected to) work outside of business hours.
The importance of not working can’t be over-estimated. Working full-time with few or no breaks for 45 years or more will eventually take its toll. “Burn-out” is what happens once you hit the wall. Over-work is related to chronic stress and its related health problems, including a heart condition and cancer. Life outside of labor has its unavoidable stressors; workplace stress on top of that (often with no easy relief) can cause you to age faster and push you over the sting .
How does one know if you’re overworked?
Here are some signs to observe out for:
- You often use alcohol or drugs to relax.
- You normally work long hours but show little to no concrete results for it.
- You don’t sleep enough and feel fatigued throughout the day.
- You feel general anxiety, sadness, or depression.
- You regularly work overtime.
- Sore/strained eyes and body aches.
- Interpersonal relationships are an increasing challenge to forge or maintain during a healthy and loving way.
It is possible to die from over-work. Chronic over-work can cause serious illnesses and eroded psychological state.
