Working to much can have quite an effect on a persons life. Working more than 40 hous a week constantly can make you very tired causing a person to sleep when not at work. Then get get back up after sleeping and not be able to have fun it would be like having no life. You would also have alot of stress which is hard on the body. Stress can cause wrinkles and nobody wants that. Working all the time can cause problems with not being able to see friends and family . This can cause major problems in a mariage or relationship because of lack of time together. The money would be nice but it would cause hardships in one life. You wouldn't even be able to enjoy the money you made after making it.

work becomes an important part of our life. no one can survive without doing work.But one thing i want to say that working too much is also very harmful. as everyone knows the famous proverb"excess of everything is bad". same way whether it is too muchstudy or some other work tires a lot.

My husband and I both have been working seven days a week for a couple of years now. We are working toward a goal of paying things off so he can retire. We do take a day off once a month and enjoy the outdoors. We do make time during the day to swim and relax together also after I get things done around the house.

I used to work for a job that had us working 12 hour shifts, or atleast that's the way it seemed. We'd get off at midnight and have to be back in at five am or, 7 am. I was so tired and falling asleep, I met my fiance when I was working at that job. He told me I had to quit, he didn't demand it of me, but he basically told me that I didn't need all the money I was getting. So I quit, and now I don't have a job but I'm happy, and I'm glad he told me to quit. Yes, your right, you have a lot of money but no time to spend it.

Hello friend, I have overworked myself on a few occasions and I do feel its side effects. However, I make it a point to relax properly. I wash my eyes with cold water to start with. Then, I make sure I take elongated rest afterwards. The best solution is to prevent yourself from overworking too much as no matter what are the steps you take after working, it does take its toll. All the best!

Working too much your body will be sick. Last time I work 10 straight day sleeping only 4 hours then after that I'm in the state of illness. Because of too much work my body is so sick. Now everything in my self is moderation. I'm looking for job that I have a lot of rest but big salary. Have a nice day.

I agree. But its a matter on how you juggle things up, mixing work, play and time with family. I maybe busy eversince we organize company events already, but i make sure to go home and spend time with my family. Or when im really busy, i call them and ask how they are or send them text msg just for them to kow that i miss them. it doesnt mean theyre your family, you can already take them for granted. They also wanted to feel loved the way you want them to love you too.. So, no matter how busy you are..call them, spend time with them..it doesnt mean its going to be week off from work, but quality time with them. You can always earn money but once you loose your family, theres no way you can earn them back..and please take care of your health, thats youre only leverage with work.

I think working too much can effect our daily life, if a person working too much, and live in work pressure, he will not have time with his family, and won't stop his step for enjoying life, that's too bad, and he will feel tired after work, and just as you say, he will just want to have a rest, and don't want to join the family party, I the meaning of life is not work, we can do a lot of funny things, so we should enjoy the life.
