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!

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
