Six weeks with a standing desk (and why they’re overhyped)

I'm at my standing desk right now.

I generally use mine all day and have for a few months but I would not be surprised to find that the results vary widely depending on the individual.

I set up my standing desk in addition to my regular desk, and for some time just used the standing desk in the afternoon. I still think that is a great strategy - it works great to keep you alert through the mid-afternoon slump.

But there are times when I want to sit down - times when I feel like I could focus better on a problem if I just got off my feet. So switch it up! It's not a magic solution, and it may not work best for you.
