Is overtime worth your time?

A couple of weeks ago, I stopped by to say goodbye to one of my colleagues at work. It was already past 5:00 pm and she was still working away on the computer and filing papers. She looked really swamped and overwhelmed. I thought to myself, it’s either she had a heavy workload that day or she simply did not have an efficient approach to managing her time and prioritizing her assignments. Which of the two do you think was the culprit?
