Working standing up

I have a standing desk that I use at my current day job, and I hope to get one at home, too. I highly recommend it. You need one that can easily convert back to a sitting desk since standing can be fatiguing, too. Studies have shown that the more you sit, the shorter your life.

I also have a timer that prompts me to look away from the screen (to preserve my distance vision) and do stretches every 20 minutes, but sadly, I tend to ignore it.

The nice standing work stations are expensive, but probably a lot cheaper than the ill effects of too much sitting.

Hi Alon, I made a post along the lines of this subject a few days ago. Some the Treehouse staff members provided some helpful advice. Here's the thread if you're interested.

I switched to a make shift standing desk by putting my laptop on top of a couple reams of paper on top of printer on top of kitchen counter, just to try it before I buy it. It's been great. After about 6 weeks my posture is better and I just feel all around better. I will be buying a real standing desk in the next 2 weeks. I highly recommend trying it!
