We use work to numb out. We can't turn off our machines because we're afraid we're going to miss something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whenever I'm taking time off, all I'm thinking about is working.
When I'm working, I have a hard time switching off, and when I'm not working, I have a hard time thinking of ever wanting to work again.
Once you start doing a lot, you don't ever want to stop working. It feels weird if you're not doing something.
When I'm working, I'm obsessively working.
We're plugged in 24 hours a day now. We're all part of one big machine, whether we are conscious of that or not. And if we can't unplug from that machine, eventually we're going to become mindless.
The only time I don't work is when I am asleep.
I often work by avoidance.
I like to be left alone when I'm not working.
We use our gadgets for distraction and entertainment. We use them to avoid work while giving the impression that we're actually working hard.
Work is a great blotter up. It stops you thinking, which is useful. No, it stops you feeling.
