When at work, have you oftern find yourself satrving because you forget to eat your lunch? Have you ever skipped a meal because you want things done and wont stop unless its done?
Or are you a type of person who will take things slow? Believing that its better that way to allow yourself to think more or come up with a better idea.
Do you occasionally put things off? Thus resulted in forgetting about it the following day?
Which group do you belong?

By nature I am a restive person and cannot rest till a job is done my satisfaction. I have often completely forgotten to eat when I am going gung ho at a project.I have worked 16-18 hours a day to complete pending work as worry that I would miss a deadline has goaded me on and sleep has been wiped off from my eyes.

Its really hard to rest and sleep when you know that there still is work to be done. But it would help alot if you have at least crankers on your side. We will not be able to think straight and fast if our stomach is empty. Thank you for sharing your views.

Hi, lovelyn,i am a such worker that everything has to happen timely,say work or lunch or going to bed.Ofcourse my nature of job also allows me to adopt this system.I am basically biodiesel consultancy owner.The time and money everything is under my control.It's just planting the seedlings of jatropha and pongamia crops in hectare of land and for that i charge consultancy charges.

You are very good in time management. My husband is like you also, that's why most of the time he keeps on nagging me about setting things right. Doing things on the right time. I am working very hard for that. Thanks for responding.

You could say I am both of these. I may walk around a problem until I have thought it through. Then I latch on to it and will not let it go until I have finished it. I will work into the night.

The same here. When I get super concentrated to my work I do forgot to eat and I hate to be interrupted. I dont want to lose my drive in finishing my task. I get so involved. But I know that practice is not healthy at all.
But sometimes I also feel lazy, specially if I am not that interested. I tend to put off things. I sometimes lead to rushing the job because I totally forgot about it. Well, I guess it is really not good to put off things that we can do right now.

Once I started working, I'll try to complete all my work. I can eat at my desk, so there's no problem about skipping meal. I think I am pretty good at multitasking. I don't like to stop once started. If I do that, I might put the work aside and probably ignore it until the dateline is near. I am pretty good at being forgetful with such things too.

Right. Skipping our meals will not do good at all. We think of ourself first. If we get sick due to always not eating on time, the more we cannot finish our works or meet our deadlines. True, we are not paid by skipping meal or using our breaktimes in continous work. Breaktimes are for eating and time for ourselves. Thanks for sharing.

for me,i always have lunch on time.my lunch is supplied by a canteen which is the lunch supplier of our company,on weekdays, i have lunch with my collegues together and we normally start lunch from 12:00 at noon,no matter what work i am doing,i will stop it and go to have lunch.
while i go home for supper,it is difficult for me to go home on time.when i am busy,i can go home until finish all one day's work,it is not good for my health,but i have no other choice.

It is great to have lunch supplier, very comfortable and less hassle. You don't need to go out and buy your lunch.
Surely, you will never skip your lunch or eat late when you are eating with your colleagues.

Hi Lovelyn..
Workaholic people do not mind skipping meals and other thigs except finishing their tasks. I feel the same whenever im on working mode. Valuing our work and coming up with positive results makes a workaholic to exceptional in completing the assigned tasks. They tend to give emphasis to other things. I had my share of working beyond what is required from me by my organization (modesty aside). There was a time where I filed for a vacation leave but at the end of the day I am still in my office working. Anyway, it was my own personal decision. Let's work ourselves to our own success.

Being workholic is not really bad but we should not forget that we still have life out there. People around us need time as well. Thanks for sharing. Happy mylotting.

Oppss! I dont think that's healthy thou I am also guilty of that at times. You should try not to do that often. Or at least eat some finger foods while your working. We don't feel hungry because our mind is very occupied.
