Multi-Tasking and Small Business Owners

If you're a hard working entrepreneur, and you've ever been accused of being a workaholic, take heart: You may not be nearly as bad as you could be.

According to a Staples survey of 300 small-business owners and executives, work has wormed its way into almost every aspect of life outside the office - sometimes making good use of otherwise wasted time, sometimes interfering with personal life. Here are the interesting stats:

  • 18 percent of those surveyed admit to reading work-related material in the bathroom.
  • 21 percent work four to five times a week while eating dinner.
  • 49 percent check e-mail and make work-related calls while driving.
  • 51 percent work on holidays.
  • 66 percent work after hours and at night.
  • 68 percent make work-related calls and e-mails and do other work on their days off.

If you're reading this, and you're not in business for yourself but you're thinking about doing so, ask yourself: Do you have what it takes?

It's a rewarding, but its also a lot of work.
