People have different bodies. For this guy, a standing desk did not work out. For others, it does.
Personally, I am more focused when standing. I feel more active and less likely to get bored. Also, I frequently walk a few steps when I need to think about something.
I used to have my brightest ideas when I stood up from my chair to go to the toilet, or while showering in the morning. Now I just walk a few steps from my desk and look out the window, or get a glass of water. This keeps my body busy while my mind is churning on something. It works for me.
- tallTrees 13y agoI used a standing desk for about ten years, starting because of back problems where I couldn't sit down for more than 15 minutes. I also had a drafting stool (with a back) so that I could sit or stand. Some days I mostly stood, some days mostly sat, some very mixed. Now I have a different job and sit at a desk all day. I can't say I miss my standing desk except for its size (4' X 8') -- it was unmatched for working with two or three people.
