Poll: As how much of an workaholic would you classify?
3 points by mtrimpe on Dec 14, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
I'm at a point in my life where I feel like I'm too busy, doing too much and sacrificing too much of my personal life to my work.

While searching around I came across the Workaholics Anonymous questionnaire on which I scored a 17/20.

How much do other HNers score and what should we do with that information?

16-18/20
3 points
7-9/20
2 points
13-15/20
2 points
0-3/20
0 points
4-6/20
0 points
10-12/20
0 points
19-20/20

Alcoholic =/= Workaholic. Your title is misleading.


Ouch, fixed now.

That must've be the sleep deprivation symptom rearing it's ugly head.


No worries, I've done worse.


"doing too much and sacrificing too much of my personal life to my work"

Sometimes it's required. Especially if you are working on a startup and need to get your first product out there.

However, I think working too much is sometimes used to avoid other aspects in your life.
