    I am when I have a deadline and tangible work to do. If I don't, I am incredibly lazy and have pretty bad executive function issues.

    Right now I have some pressing tangible work to do, so I've pulled 50+ hour weeks for about a month straight. Once this is done I'll probably struggle to get to 40 for a while.

      I move between workaholic and lazy bum.

      I try to capitalize when I'm feeling like working, and work as much as possible.

        Yes. I am currently on annual leave and have felt anxious the whole time about the fact that I’ve not done enough

          Both if i need to find an answer to something i almost become obsessive but only if i'm motivated and needs to, and when i'm close to ending something then i stop, cause on my head is already finished but now i'm just tricking but thinking is never near close ending.

            I was in my younger years but realize now how little meaning hard work in the corporate world has brought me. Today I try to do the best I can but mostly focused my energies on things outside of work.
