My Top 10 Signs That Work is Consuming Your Life

Below are the signs and symptoms that have been cropping up recently that are warning me that I am working too much/not spending enough time on the things that matter: 

1. I get excited when family or friends say "hi" on Google Chat or Facebook Messenger because it's the only real quality people time I get during the day. 
2. I constantly think that Saturday is Friday and Sunday is Saturday and get thoroughly confused on Monday. 
3. My main mode of communication with my husband is text message reminders or lists via email. 
4. My dog is no longer excited when I get home. She just gives me the "oh, you're here again" look.
5. The cats are excited when I get home.
6. My "free time" is spent getting ready for the next day of work.
7. I'm reading nothing but self-help books on organization and time management.
8. I get up before the sun rises and go to bed four to six hours after the sun has set.
9. I can't remember the last time a morning started without an alarm.
10. Coffee in the morning is no longer something I enjoy but something that is necessary.
