Should Hardworking Professionals Take a Break?

The answer is yes!

Some describe hardworking as dedicated, diligent, or persevering. Others might describe hardworking as businesslike, enterprising, or active. Still others would describe hardworking as painstaking, disciplined or industrious. Additionally words like thorough, skillful, practiced, serious, and methodical relate to hardworking.

Regardless of the words used, hardworking professionals go to work daily. They work in weather rain or shine, snow or sleet, 100 degrees or 115 degrees. Hardworking professionals rarely take time off work. In Stress is Personal: Your personal starter guide to stress relief, I talk about the outcome of a series of focus groups. I also summarize a survey of over 1300 workers conducted by Project Time Off.
