Work standing up - Day 3

Today is my third day working at a standing desk. I had originally thought I would stand for a couple of hours - until my laptop battery died - and then switch back to my desk.

That was five hours ago. I’m still standing, and I’ve gone to get my AC adapter for my laptop! I’ve only sat down today to eat lunch. I have to say I feel like my energy levels are much higher while standing, and it’s much easier to not let myself be distracted by sitting back and reading blogs and catching up on the news.

One thing I have noticed is that my back feel fine - there was some tightness in my lower back initially - but my feet don’t like standing on the hard floor. My office has thin carpet over concrete floors, so I need to go track down a rug or something with a little padding on which to stand.
