Marriage Counseling-Make Time For Your Relationship By Avoiding Urgency Addiction - part 1
by Barbara Bartlein
Lori Zimmermann of Santa Barbara, California, worked for a large international retail organization for eight years. She entered corporate America with the intent to stay and make a career. But after eight years, she called it quits and started freelancing to have more control over her work hours and her life.
"I never felt finished at work," she explains. "While I could maintain the status quo, I really couldn't make it better. We worked up to 60 hours a week just to get the job done. It wasn't directly said you had to do it, but everyone else was working that hard, so you just felt it was expected."
She walked away from a guaranteed salary, a benefit structure, and stock options to have flexibility and control over her time. "Although it has certainly made things tougher financially, I've never regretted my decision," she states.

She is not alone. More and more workers are questioning their role in corporate American and it's "ASAPs" climate. Today's corporate culture is "hooked" on urgency where everything is a priority, needing to be done yesterday. This "urgency addiction" has become a way of life, a workaholic culture. Company routine revolves around a series of emergency "fires" that need extinguishing immediately. Employees run from project to project with caffeine energy and buckets of sand. Sprinkling a little sand here, a little there, they feel exhausted at the end of the day, yet cannot point to any specific accomplishment or finished project.
Urgency addiction permeates today's organizations and affects all who work there. It produces an adrenaline rush of feeling important, but soon leads to exhaustion and burn out. Those who attempt to fight it by asking, "But, which one is the priority?" are told, "Everything is a priority." Employees dance as fast as they can but fall increasingly behind.
Workers try to compensate by taking work home, coming in early, or sacrificing time on weekends to improve productivity with no interruptions. This additional effort is usually rewarded with yet another project, another area of responsibility, and more simmering fires to extinguish.
