A self-induced increased workload causes deterioration in marriage and family life, undermining the main source of non-work related support. Likewise, avoiding vacation time leads to a decline in efficiency and initiative resulting in an increasing spiral of mistakes and complaints from associates and customers. Paradoxically, rather resulting in approve from others overwork eventually results in criticizes from family, colleagues, and employers.
Usually those who fail to take regular vacations become cynical, negative, rigid, and inflexible. Accompanying poor work performance is the inability to relax and enjoy recreational pursuits.
