I am experimenting with a standup desk these days. It seems like i move more, leave my desk have a couple of steps every now and then. And this helps me think. Like think out of the box, the context or the distractions attached to it.
That's the biggest advantage of not sitting. I highly doubt that a threadmill can provide me this huge productivity boost...
- jawilson2 14y agoI am looking into getting one of these. Do you have any recommendations?
- DaveChild 14y agoI made my own ( http://imgur.com/a/BczGu#26 http://imgur.com/a/BczGu#26 ) and it's great to work at. If you're buying one, I'd recommend picking a good desk without the motorized bits. Instead of getting something that goes up and down (so you can sit at a normal chair when you don't want to stand), get a tall stool for when you want to sit.

- recycleme 14y agoOne benefit of a stand up desk, from my experience, is that it helps battle grogginess. Since I started using a stand up desk, I have rarely had any mid afternoon, post-lunch fatigue.
- Codhisattva 14y agoI tried a stand up desk for a while before putting together a treadmill desk. I found with the stand up, my legs and feet got tired quickly while standing and I was too easily distracted by shiny things. The treadmill is a bit more captivating and that helps my mental focus. And my feet don't get tired for hours.
