Sharing his perspective further, Thory added:

 “Being a workaholic is not always negative – it shows passion and dedication. But when it starts exhausting us or affecting our relationships, it’s time to stop and rethink.”

He believes that maintaining a work-life balance not only improves productivity but also keeps one mentally strong and happy. His suggestions include:

Set clear boundaries between work and personal life.

Take breaks and holidays regularly to refresh your body and mind.

Develop hobbies like art, sports, or travel to keep life enriched beyond work.

On National Workaholics Day, Junjaram appealed to the youth, professionals, and entrepreneurs to ask themselves at least once a day – “Am I living my life or just working through it?”

His message today resonates with the theme of the day – reminding everyone that white work is important, life is meant to be truly lived beyond office screens and deadlines.
