You can be a workaholic and still be slothful. It just isn’t the work one ought to be doing. But other times being slothful can actually involve getting a lot of work done!. Some people are indeed slothful by refusing to do anything but laze about and indulge in self-gratifying activities. We typically equate sloth with laziness, and by and large that can be correct.
