Strung out on work: The effects on the lives of overworked Americans
There is a woman I know by the name Arla Finney. She has a full time job, she is a full time mother, and a part time student. Out of seven days a week, she hardly has any time for relaxation, not even on the weekends. She raises four young women to the best of her abilities as well as working her tail off to make sure they have entirely everything they essentially need.
Often times she feels that she has to work over her regular time just to make ends meet when they have already been met. As far as free time goes, I’m not sure she even knows what that is.
The only free time allotted to her is at night when she lays her head on her pillow. Yes, the woman I speak of is my mother. …show more content…
No one wants to hear that their child’s performance in school is based on how much time the parents spend with the family.
To elaborate a bit more on the previous quote used, you might have noticed how it seemed to be centered on the role of a woman or house wife. Most of us know that the reasoning behind that is that it was believed to be the women’s job to take care and keep up on the household and children. In the previous centuries the role have pretty much switched up and evened out. Women are working just as hard as men, some working even harder. The only thing not fair enough is that the women can work the same job but still won’t make as much money as the man. So imagine working long hard hours being a woman and being away from your family but still not even making the most money possible.
When it comes down to marriages and the effects on them from a hard working spouse the stress is overwhelming for everyone. Without the housekeeping titled being assigned to one person, it makes keeping up a household a bit more problematic. This is also a part of what fails marriages. Some people get so caught up in their job that their spouse is becoming less important

Stress is one of the first foremost outcomes I stated comes from working too much.
If excessive stress levels and family suffering isn’t enough to comprehend that working too much isn’t something you want to continue doing to yourself, how about the physical health of your body? When all fails, the last thing you want is for your health to fail as well. Stress and your health essentially come hand in hand for this section. That is because your stress levels can and most definitely will affect your health just as well as any germ lingering in the air.
Overworking yourself has a great impact on both your physical and mental health.
For those who work in factories or maybe even a job where you can be seated on your behind the majority of a day, your health is still at risk. Even by sitting on the job for so many years can lead to back complications and even complications with your inside i.e.; lungs, kidneys, etc. This goes especially for persons who have a poor sitting posture. Now, that first ache or pain may not seem like a huge deal, or so you think, but after a couple months go by it worsens and eventually years will go by and you still haven’t gotten it checked out because you’ve been too busy
