How can I do stop being a workaholic?

The key is making time away from work -- totally away from work -- to get your life back in balance. Block out "construction personal time" to spend with family and (non-work) friends. Learn how to delegate work -- and learn to say no to new assignments. Find a hobby or two. Accept that we all need a decent number of hours of sleep. Convince yourself it is okay to sometimes just sit and relax and do nothing.
