According to Osho, a workaholic is addicted to activity—using work as a drug to escape oneself—so he is never truly present or silent. Being total in work is the opposite: a meditative immersion, free of compulsion, that brings joy and perfection. Totality in doing also enables totality in non-doing; the workaholic compulsively fidgets, while the total worker can sit silently and enter meditation.
A workaholic keeps busy to avoid themselves, while being total means doing one thing with full presence and calm—like meditation—and also being able to rest quietly.
