How to use "Overwork" in context?
Overwork is a term used to describe a situation where someone is working too hard. Overwork can be a result of an individual's own choices, or it can be caused by the demands of their job. There are different types of overwork, and each can have different consequences.
When someone is overworked, they may experience a number of negative consequences. Overworked individuals may become stressed, their health may decline, they may lose their motivation and energy, and they may become emotionally exhausted. In extreme cases, overwork can lead to burnout, which is a condition in which someone has exhausted all of their reserves.
