A standing desk in my home office has done wonders for my attention and therefore my productivity. Something about being on my feet keeps me focused. Anyone else share this sentiment? I’d look into this if people are interested.

Never really mattered too much to me...all about staying put and locking down. I go for a walk every now and then when I have some free time but standing and working just doesn't feel right to me.

It's worth a try, and it def takes time to adjust. I usually use it for super important meetings bc it helps me stay focused

Yes! If no standing desk, I have to get up and move around at least every hour or so somehow. I also sometimes bring my phone with me on the treadmill when wfh so I can keep an eye on emails while running : )

Can't tell you how much I dread sitting. I need to look into standing desk options. They had standing desks back at my work in 2017 and I felt like it was conducive to everyone's productivity.

I’m hoping this will be the case if I can get more sleep. Right now I’m just so tired

Maybe I need to get one. I have really been thinking about it but haven't made the plunge yet.

I'm glad someone said. Something about standing makes me feel like I'm "getting things done"

Been wanting to buy one because I also thought it would help me manage better. This is the testimony I've been waiting for. Finally purchasing my own after I post this. Thanks!

What brand did you get? I really like the Stance standing desk. It would do wonders for my back problems. Standing helps relieve pain.

I'm actually saving up for one now so I could do a whole setup with my treadmill below the desk. I've heard it works wonders for others. I just can't keep still in a chair for long enough.

I've been wanting to try one but haven't - this is inspiring me to take the plunge!

I need to make some serious changes as I’m 27 and should not have this much back pain so young 😢

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
