This Goat no-no might cost you that raise or promotion…

Do you ever feel like you are pulling way more weight than is fair? Or do you just love putting in the long hours—maybe overspending time doing personal things like seeing friends and loved ones, going out to eat at a reasonable hour, etc. Well, a little self-sacrificing can lead to burn out, build a wall between you and others, and even cost you advancement because you’re just too independent and could seem to be a live wire ready to explode if it all gets to be too much.

So, what to do? It’s easy! Relax. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Focus on doing things well over taking on everything. Spend time with those who really matter and will help refresh you during time off… pets, friends, family, even “you” time. You’re worth it—and that work perk!
