Warning signs that you are getting overworked

工作过度的警告信号

Losing motivation

失去动力

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

我们开始一份工作就像度蜜月一样，凡事都要乐观。

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.

在这个阶段，动机是很自然的。但是当你过度工作的时候，你将不得不努力抵抗没有动力的感觉。

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

也许你仍然能完成工作，甚至做得很好，但是动力已经消失了。

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

你的动机不是为工作本身而工作，而是来自恐惧——害怕错过最后期限，害怕失望或被解雇。
