Hi 🐟!! How many have been using a standing desk during this time? Are you able to stand the majority of the day? Has it helped with concentration? Thanks!

I got the uplift desk a year ago and I love it.
I don’t stand most of the day, but it’s definitely a nice way to mix things up when you need an extra boost of concentration or when taking calls

I got a monitor arm and a keyboard stand. Significantly cheaper and I don’t have to ditch my old desk.

I stand for 2-3 hours in intervals throughout the day. Helps quite a bit, especially when I’m feeling drowsy

I got one just a month ago. I stand a lot, but I'm on a lot of calls and find it makes it easier to pay attention. I also walk a lot more because I'm already standing. I walk while listening and that really helps my focus.

When I'm creating slides or emails I do sit if it is going to be more than 10 minutes or so. I'd say I stand or walk 6 hours of the day, sit the balance.

That’s an amazing increase!! Good for you

Bought autonomous. Using standing for like 5-6 hours per day
