Seconded, although I recommend something much more simple: a standing desk. I stand when I get uncomfortable sitting, I sit when I get uncomfortable standing. And if I start to space out I can go for a walk or run. I'm very lucky to have this convenience.

You don't need a super-expensive desk either, in fact you probably don't need to buy anything. I use the counter-top at my house, you can also get a box or chair to put on your regular desk.



how do you comfortably type when standing? never figured that one out


For me it’s about raising the keyboard surface to almost shoulder level so I can rest my forearms on the desk.


I set my desk around belly-button level and use a VESA arm to get the monitor up to eye level.


The rules don’t really change. Elbow at 90 degree angle and the top of the screen at eye level.
