Believe it or not, there is a benefit to being a workholic when making more spare time money. Since we workaholics can often multi-task, be ready to take on more than more than one job to supplement your current income.
Now most reports on workaholics state that we work just to be “busy,” there are so many of us that work and can churn out a lot of productive work. I speak to the productive workaholics out there! I admit to being one of the productive workaholics who enjoys short deadlines, working on more than one project at a time, and still getting my breaks throughout the day!
As I mentioned in previous posts about working effiiciently, as long as you keep on track to finish what you intended on doing for that day, you are managing your time in the most productive way possible. I still use the scratch pad and pen system with a short “to-do” list on my desk to make sure I got done what I had intended.
The workplace has changed forever since the recession of 2008-2009. Our country lost millions of jobs and most likely will not be replaced. Latest reports have stated that since corporations of all sizes have dramatically cut their labor forces, productivity and profitibility have soared. The current workforce is wearing more “hats” and doing more duties than ever before. Quite few number of them fear for their job security so they do not grumble and resign to the fact that they have to take on those extra duties that in years past, meant a raise in pay because of taking on those extra duties. No more!
So, workaholics, be strong and be aware that you will have to take on more than one job if you are to survive monetarily through this very tough economy.
Peace and Love,
