I've been using a standing desk full time for about 2 years now. I spend a majority of my day standing. In between standing I also walk and jog every few hours (roughly 5 miles a day, mostly fast walking). I also do about 50 push ups and situps as general exercise. My job consists of writing code, constantly learning new things, creating video courses (around software development topics) and blogging. So I would say the cognitive requirements are pretty high but I don't feel standing hinders my progress in thinking through problems. I never once felt like I had to sit down to solve a problem. Other than the first week of standing I have not experienced any muscle pains or aches. I feel good. If anyone is curious, here's a couple of posts I've written about standing desks: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/build-a-home-made-standing-desk-for-50-dollars-in-10-easy-steps https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/build-a-home-made-standing-de... https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/results-after-using-a-standing-desk-for-3-months https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/results-after-using-a-standin... I recommend trying it out. Your own body will give you feedback on whether or not it's working out for you.
