[Productivity] Are you Overworked or Simply Underpaid?

WorkBlogLife.com recently published a list of signs that you are working too much which include:

1. Your family and friends have got so used to not having you around, you feel like a stranger when you are around them.
2. Closing yourself off from your friends and associates, stopping all contact, ignoring emails, phone calls from them etc.
3. You have a spiralling compulsion to work longer and longer hours, trying to squeeze the last few minutes from the day.
4. Your level of caffeine and stimulates has increased to the point that it disrupts your sleep, what little that you are getting.
5. You are putting aside relaxation or regular exercise in favour of getting the job done, you feel compelled to finish the tasks at hand.
6. You are finding that you are getting really irate at mundane things. Like when you have to wait for anything, queuing at the checkout, in traffic or waiting for a late scheduled meeting.
7. General forgetfulness of anything that is not work related.
8. Missing family special events, such as partner’s work events, or children’s school or major sporting events in favour of work.
9. Long term sickness, like a cold or flu you just can’t shake.
10. You get to the point that you can’t tell what day it is. You avoid drawing the blinds as you don’t want to look at the beautiful day outside as it’s going to distract you.

Where do you stand? How many out of 10 do you get?
