Anyone have experience with a standing desk and treadmill underneath? How is it? Can you still work efficiently while walking?

I got this set up a couple weeks ago. I can generally work efficiently when what I'm doing is reading/reviewing and running meetings. It's harder when I'm doing fiddly things like aligning stuff on slides or working on something really technical that I have to concentrate on.

I like having the option to sit, stand, or walk. So usually I will stand for the focus stuff and try to walk during my meetings, and sit when I'm tired. I don't walk when I'm in meetings that require camera because you can really tell, but I will stand for those. I find I actually focus better when I'm standing. With this arrangement I generally spend 4-5 hours standing, 2-3hrs walking, and the rest sitting.

Also I used our well-being subsidy to by my desk riser and walking pad :)

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.

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
