Most jobs nowadays require a person to sit for long periods. It's been bothering me that when I wake up in the morning, and have physical energy, that I then have to go to work and sit. So last week, I made the decision to stand most of the day at work.
When my new computer came in, I kept the box, and propped up my monitor, mouse, and keyboard on the box. Then I simply stand to do the work. So far this was worked out well. I have more energy throughout the day and don't get as sleepy from sitting so long.
I jokingly refer to my setup as the "workstation of the future", but that really may not be that far off. Who knows how workplaces will incorporate more physical activity in the future.
