When did you change to the standing desk? I heard people grow tired of it after a couple of months.

3G internet connection => Hardline

Living in suburbs => Living in the city center

I've changed to standing desk for more than 9 months. Couldn't live without it now.

I'm curious, how do you handle long periods of standing? Just resting? I can't imagine standing for hours doing computer work.

I work in short burst -- maximum 2 hours at a time. After 2 hours, even if my legs weren't tired, I would starting to lose focus. I would then take 15 - 30 mins break to have a tea/walk my dog/yoga/weight lift/talk to spouse/jump rope/shoot hoops, and then continue back again.

You should bring it to Starbucks for the next co-hacking session... ;)
