Set your goals high... & don't stop

A profound insight: Workaholism and high performance look a lot alike to the outside observer. ... that correlate with high performance..

Workaholics,

Depend entirely on others to choose whether and when to let them know how they are doing. They keep themselves chronically busy, never looking up to ask where their work fits into the bigger picture. Their focus is on working hard, working fast, and (often) making sure they stay ahead of others. It isn't unusual for a workaholic to burn out just trying to stay ahead of others

High performers give 100% at the right time.

Workaholics give 110% all of the time.....
High performers "know that, like the economy, business comes in waves. Therefore, they get ready during the dips so they can capitalize during the upswings." When there is a lull, they spend time strategizing so that they can hit the ground running with a viable plan that will achieve results.
This makes them results oriented.

Workaholics, on the other hand, fill any space in time with busy work because they feel insecure doing nothing, The insecurity comes from not knowing their value..
Their No. 1 goal is to be—or to appear-- busy at all times.

High performers take the initiative every workday. Workaholics are reactive to whatever the workday tosses them.
High performers plan out their day in advance, giving top priority to the most important work to be done.
Only when that work is done do they shift focus to unplanned events.

A workaholic's day is driven entirely by outside distractions. Since the constant goal of a workaholic is to be busy and to appear to be busy, it doesn't much matter which task is undertaken, as long as effort is being applied to some task or other.

More dopamine translates into better mood—you feel happier—and into better future performance because dopamine turns on the learning centers of the brain. Allowing yourself to feel positive about your accomplishments yields a 31% in productivity

Now here is the "fuzzy" part: How do you put your brain in a positive state? By incorporating very simple tasks into your workday
just one positive thing each day allows the brain to re-live the experience, giving it a double boost of dopamine and causing permanent changes in brain function

High Performers have a higher probability to stand up for themselves and go outside their comfort zone taking more risks and bolder actions. -
