After saying all these, take a look at the signs below and check the ones you consider for yourself. If you check more the 50% of them than you should definitely analyze your life.

  1. In the free time spent with your friends and family you are talking about work and what you will have to do.
  2. You promise your spouse you will be home for dinner in half of hour but there are passing another couple of hours until you arrive.
