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, those people who overwork rather than earning praise for their dedication eventually receive criticism from family, colleagues, and employers.
Usually those who fail to take regular vacations become unproductive, cynical, negative, rigid, and inflexible. Accompanying poor work performance is the inability to have fun. The harder one works the more difficult it is to relax.
