Stand More at Work, Sit More at Home

  None of these changes are actually what makes a difference. The difference is made by having a workplace where you are enabled to request/make these changes. It's a type of Hawthorne effect.

  I work from home. What do I do..?

  I have an adjustable desk at work so I put it in the standing position often.

  Standing for hours really hurts your feet.

  I don't find it surprising at all that people sit more at home if they have a standing desk.

  I have one of those automatic sit stand desks. The Jarvis. Only for home though.

  I relish my work from home days. They're glorious. I don't want every day to be a work from home day, but when it works out, I love it.

  I don't even care about the health benefits. I just like standing sometimes, without having to stop working.

  Didn't recent study show that sitting or standing doesn't matter if you're stationary?

  I'm wondering, is lying down a good position for working on a computer?
