What are the signs of an obsession with a Job?
I recently discovered I'm becoming Obsessed with mine. Here's how...
Sign no. 1: Working my ass off and not feeling too tired at the end of the day.
Sign No. 2: Working late nights and not minding it
Sign No. 3: Going home only to eat and sleep, but not even doing that. Coding instead, even when at home. Contemplating staying at office on most days.
Sign No. 4: Reading up more about code and design than any other type of article.
Some might say that this is going crazy, but I beg to differ because, after all, what do we work for? It is to enjoy ourselves with the money we earn, right? If I am enjoying myself facing the challenges the job throws at me and craving for the rush of achievement at the end of solving that challenge makes me feel good, then that's good, isn't it?
Think about it.
Having said that, I'm not saying one should make their hobby as their job. That'd be the dumbest thing to do as I found out. In fact, that's the exact thing you should avoid doing. If one takes their hobby as their job then they'd start doing what they love for money and not for the love of it and soon it turns out that one starts to hate their HOBBY!
So, keep personal & professional lives separate but love whatever you do in both.
