Workawhorelic

A woman that works too much mainly for the money.

That Workawhorelic is going to run herself ragged working so hard. She would have an easier time on her back.

Workthentic

The integrated, intentional expression of your professional authentic self—not the whole self, which is made up of many parts. It’s the part of you that understands context, reads the room, and shows up with clarity, integrity, and alignment.

Not aspirational fluff. Not performance. Just real professionalism, consciously chosen.

After layoffs, Maya held space for her team’s emotions without oversharing her own. She didn’t sugar-coat the truth, she stayed grounded, calm, and clear. That’s workthentic—not detached, not performative—just the leader her team needed

procrastinating workaholic

Something Dan Howell is.

Dan: My therapist said that I'm a procrastinating workaholic. Because once I start working on something, I work so hard that I injure myself by forgetting to breathe and do all this other stuff. I just have a problem getting started. For me, it's like a perfectionism thing. Like, I can't just do something and try my best. I'm like, "If I do this thing, it has to be amazing." It doesn't matter if it's an essay, a YouTube video or tidying my bedroom. I'll be like, "If I do this, I have to DO it, man!" And that's the thing, I put this fear in myself. If I were just someone who was like, "I can just do it." You know, roll with the punches. Go with the flow of life. But for me, it's like a perfectionism thing. It's that I know that when I start it, I am going to work so hard that I'm going to be bleeding. Because I care too much, because I'm a freak. I'm definitely someone that cares.
