The first fork in the road for anyone considering a standing desk is to decide between a setup that’s purpose-built for standing and an addition that converts your existing desk for that function. As a result, they ended up shying away from standalone standing desks and began to look more closely at attachments that turn your normal workstation into a standing option, products like Varidesk, Ergotron Workfit, and Kangaroo Junior.
Key Takeaways:
- The first fork in the road for anyone considering a standing desk is to decide between a setup that’s purpose-built for standing and an addition that converts your existing desk for that function.
- Whether you’re trying to decide on a new standing desk or an attachment, it’s important to think about not only your work style but also the existing equipment you use.
- I find that if I’m excited about something or have an energy surge, it helps me concentrate if I get on my feet. If you sometimes find yourself distracted by your own energy at certain times, standing may release just enough of it to allow you to concentrate.
“The general consensus is that you should alternate standing and sitting at roughly 30- to 60-minute intervals. When I tried that strategy, I had a much better experience.”
