Does this sound like you…
• I love buying every home decorating magazine or book, and spending my free time reading every word!
• I can’t imagine a better place to spend a Saturday (and Sunday!) than in a furniture store, strolling the aisles for hours- just looking for that “perfect” sofa!
• I have no other hobbies, decorating my home over and over again is my life! So, if I get it wrong the first time, it’s not a big deal!
I can spend all my free time decorating!

• Work follows some people home. In addition to their normal work hours, participants reported working at home for about four and a half hours per week, on average.
• However 20% report working 10 or more extra hours per week at home
