I am pretty much the same - depends on what I am doing. If I am cutting and pressing, I leave it on - - if I have just come up with a stitch adjustment configuration, I will leave it on (while I am working in the same room) - - but if I have a long project space where I will not need it for awhile, or leave the room, everything gets turned off in case I get "busy" at something else that I didn't necessarily plan on, the dog needs a walk right now(!), hubby wants something, etc. My stuff is on surge protectors as well, and for the iron I just flip that off - beats standing on my head to unplug it from the wall. :-)
