Warning signs that you are getting overworked

工作過度的警告信號

Losing motivation

失去動力

We start a job like a honeymoon, seeing things through rose-colored glasses.

我們開始一份工作就像度蜜月一樣，凡事都要樂觀。

At this stage, the motivation comes very naturally. But when you overwork, you will have to try to fight the feeling of having no motivation.

在這個階段，動機是很自然的。但是當你過度工作的時候，你將不得不努力抵抗沒有動力的感覺。

Maybe you still get the job done, even done well, but the motivation is gone.

也許你仍然能完成工作，甚至做得很好，但是動力已經消失了。

Instead of working for the job itself, your motivation comes from fear - fear of missing deadlines, fear of disappointing or being fired.

你的動機不是為工作本身而工作，而是來自恐懼——害怕錯過最后期限，害怕失望或被解雇。
