Board game entrepreneur David Schoenberger writes in “The Pitfalls of Workaholism“:

… food is not the only [thing] our families are hungry for. They are hungry for us.

No one ever regrets not having spent more time at the office, after all.  And oftentimes, not being able to appropriately prioritize and delegate your workload so that you’re not spending excess hours at the office can be seen as “a junior move” as Redken marketing executive Rachel Weiss characterizes it.  “If you can’t exercise enough judgment and reading of the business environment to determine what absolutely needs to get done now and by you, versus what can wait a week or two or get done by someone else, then how can I trust you to make smart choices for the business?”

In other words, working too much could actually prevent you from getting promoted, let alone prevent you from having the chance to say things like, “Eat your vegetables; there are starving kids in [insert far-flung locale here]!” to your family over dinner.
