The SEVEN traits of a Workaholic

Nearly a third of people see themselves as workaholics and they are more likely than others to be dissatisfied with their work-life balance, says a Statistic Canada study released last month. The study, "Time escapes me: Workaholics and time perception," found that nearly one-third, or 31 per cent of the respondents aged 19 to 64, identify themselves as workaholics.

The 7 traits of a workaholic:

Unsatisfying work/life balance.
Working more hours than average.
Working more doesn't give sense of accomplishment.
Feeling stressed.
Stuck in a routine.
Inability to finish 'to-do list.'
Exaggerated sense of work's role in life.
