Swapped my standing desk for a sitting one after trying my neighbor's setup
For two years I thought standing all day was the only way to avoid back pain. Then my neighbor Dave let me try his ergonomic chair with a footrest for an afternoon last Saturday. Within 3 hours my shoulders felt looser and I wasn't shifting weight every 10 minutes. I ended up spending $400 on a similar chair and dropped my desk height to sitting level. After 5 days my lower back actually felt better than when I was standing. Has anyone else made this switch and noticed less knee strain during long work calls?

Wait, don't you miss the alertness you get from standing? I tried sitting for a week last year and my focus tanked hard.

Nah, my focus just went searching for my snacks instead.

Try a standing mat for 10 minutes every hour. Keeps focus up without killing your knees.
