你是一个工作狂吗?

In a nation of overachievers, hard work is a virtue. If you work hard, you'll achieve your goals. If you work even harder, you'll achieve even more. Right?

在一个满是优等生的国度，勤劳是一种美德。如果你努力工作的话，你会实现你的目标。如果你更努力的话，你将得到更多。真的是这样吗？

Perhaps not. There are, in fact, several downsides to working too hard. Being the office workaholic can cost you coveted promotions, hurt your home life, and even turn friends into enemies. Evaluate yourself with the following five questions.

可能并不是这样的。实际上，工作太努力有很多不利面。成为办公室的工作狂会毁掉你梦寐以求的晋升机会，危害你的家庭生活，甚至会让朋友反目成仇。用以下5个问题来评估下你自己吧。

1. Are you busy ... or disorganized?

你是很忙还是无条理？

Are you constantly staying late and coming in early yet producing the same output as others? If so, your boss may come to view you as inefficient and possibly disorganized. Dave Cheng, an executive coach with Athena Coaching, says, "There are some people, type A's, who get a lot of satisfaction from doing lots of work, but the quality isn't necessarily superior."

你是否经常早到晚退，但和其他人的工作成效还是一样的？如果是这样的话，你的上司可能会开始觉得你是个做事没效率，甚至是没有条理的人。Athena Coaching公司的行政教练Dave Cheng说：“有很多人，A类人，他们从做很多工作中得到满足，但做事的质量却并不值得他们骄傲。”

Focus on getting your work done in a reasonable time frame. If you have perfectionism or time-management issues, ask your supervisor to help you prioritize things and learn when to let go of a task. Cheng says, "Just because you're working longer doesn't mean you're working better."

在合理的时间内专注地做完你的工作。如果你是个完美主义者，或在时间管理上有困难，那就叫你的主管帮你的工作区分出先后顺序，并学会放弃一项任务。陈说：“仅仅因为你工作的时间长并不能说明你工作得更好。”

2. Are you delegating ... or hoarding?

你在分权还是揽权

If you have any aspirations at all to move into management, you must learn to delegate work. Again, tasks need to be completed in a timely fashion; if you're having trouble finishing a project, you must delegate to other team members, even if you happen to relish the task you're giving away.

如果你非常渴望进入管理层，那你必须学会分配工作。再次强调，工作任务需要及时完成。如果你在完成一个项目时碰到了困难，那你就要分给其他队员一起做，即使你委派给别人的工作恰好是你喜欢的。

Cheng, who has more than 12 years of experience in corporate human resources, reveals, "Some workers feel like if they do everything and they're the only one who knows how to do it, they're making themselves irreplaceable. However, sharing information and teaching others around you is a valued skill as far as management is concerned."

陈有超过12年的人力资源经验，他指出说“有些工人觉得，如果他们做了所有的事情，那他们就是唯一知道该怎么做这些事情的人，自己就无法被取代了。然而，分享信息以及教你身旁的人也是管理层必需的宝贵技能。”

Focus on completion and quality and be generous enough to let a colleague learn and shine. If you lack sufficient support, ask your boss about expanding your group.

将重点放在完成和质量上，并且大方地让你的同事向你学习，做出他们的成绩。如果你缺少充分的支持，就可以要求你的上司扩展你的团队。
