Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Day One. I've been reading up on changing my workplace's seated workstation to a standing one. This morning I elevated the monitor and keyboard to the prescribed height. The results are ... interesting. The change has certainly given me a fresh perspective. I am liking this upright position, but it will take a little time to get used to the increased pressure on my feet. One recommendation I found was to have the monitor angled away from the head at about 20 degrees. This proved far too much, so I've reduced it to 14 degrees. I'll keep posting here as I experiment with this new position. Anyone else using a standing workstation? If so, what angle is your monitor?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Day Two. Certainly my feet are feeling the difference. I've added an anti-fatigue mat (actually a piece of carpet - but don't tell anyone). I still like the upright position a great deal. Feels more energetic somehow. Is no one else standing in front of their workstation? I thought this was a BIG THING. Apparently not (yet).

MikeRobe Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I know some people who use standing workstations. I probably should, since my posture's not awesome... Maybe it's just a big thing in NZ? Edited May 22, 2014 by MikeRobe Quote I baked another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnoRobbo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) sit-stand work stations are starting to be implemented at my place of work. It's suppose to attract younger talent. With healthier spines and vertabrae discs, I assume. Edited May 22, 2014 by TechnoRobbo Quote Go out there and be amazing.

david.atwell Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 My office only provides seated desks. I've heard a lot about treadmill desks, but that seems like it would make things difficult. Wouldn't fit in my home office anyway. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

pyrochild Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 My dad has a treadmill desk. He likes it a lot, but he can't type while walking on it so he only uses it while reading news and catching up on customer reports and uses it as a standing desk otherwise.

pdnnoob Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Part of my problem is that the dorms at my college don't offer standing workstations. And they like to put the beds above the desks so we kill brain cells every time we stand up. The other part of my problem is I'm in college, so I'm pretty flat-out broke. Otherwise, a standing workstation sounds pretty cool. Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

teh501stSnoipeh Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Skip to 0:55. That's all I can say. Take out the standing part and replace it with chair. Other than that, I think it would be a good idea.
