Week One Observations:
- I wasn't used to standing, so I realized exactly what I anticipated: it's tiring work to stand. I spend 80% of each day standing (including the mistake of wearing high heels one day). Each night, I welcomed the opportunity to sit for a few hours.
- Because of the way my workstation is set up, people come directly into my office and behind my desk. I realized I appreciate my personal space.
Weeks Two-Three Observations:
- Standing is invigorating. I notice I'm more likely to be able to stand comfortably during social gatherings, vs. looking for a comfortable place to sit.
- My absolute favorite shoes to wear while standing are my Vibram FiveFingers KSO. However, they're a bit casual for most workdays, so on most days, I wear flats and get through the day comfortably.
- I've rearranged my desk and workstation and it's helped with colleagues coming into my office. I've preserved some of my personal space.
This week, my boss asked: "Are you getting the results you expected with your standing workstation?"
I love it. So far, so good.
