If you work a lot at the computer, you could not help but notice the existing danger that hangs over people who spend half their lives sitting. There are problems with posture, overweight and much more. There is a theory proven in practice, what is possible (and necessary?) work standing up.
The author of the blog of the famous company 37signals suggested that it would not hurt to spend 80% of the time standing, working with a computer. He armed himself with encyclopedias that served as a stand and "suffered" for more than 2 months. At the end of the second month, the discomfort disappeared and this method of work became the main one for him. As an additional advantage, he calls the fact that now he easily goes to work where he would be too lazy to go sitting on a chair.
From my experience of past work in the office, I can say that the habit of solving all issues by phone and "ICQ" leads to the fact that colleagues practically did not leave their chair, and this is not very good.
As for the furniture for such a pastime, then there is one. The truth is sold in the USA, it is also made there.
What do you think about this method of work? Would you be able to try this method yourself?
