There were two types of people in the office: those who had a standing desk and those who were stuck at a desk. There was no in between and no compromise.

Standing desks or L shaped desk are not just for creative professionals, they are an excellent tool to use in any type of office setting. They have many benefits to help you stay focused and healthy on your feet, including lower risk for back pain, improved posture and breathing, better focus on tasks, time switching advantage (than sitting), psychological benefits of moving around which can reduce anxiety and depression, etc. Here are the places where you can use your stand up desk: 

1. In your office: Working for hours while sitting down can cause a bad impact on your back , neck and shoulders. Standing while working can help ease the tension and pressure. It also helps you concentrate better and saves you some calories burned while being on your feet all day, which is good for the body.

2. In a meeting room: After you have pitched or presented an idea in front of your colleagues, standing up to shake hands with everyone present can help you demonstrate a sense of confidence and professionalism by showing that you are grateful for their time and opinion. Then, sit down in your chair to discuss further consolidation or any possible strategic relevance to the project at hand.

3. In front of your computer: While working and surfing the web, you can switch between sitting and standing by using a gaming chair. This will let you be comfortable on your feet while working throughout the day.

4. In the kitchen: Use your stand up desk in the kitchen to prepare your meals or to prep ingredients for a cooking party with friends and family members. It is also suitable when cutting vegetables from either side, as you will still be able to keep an eye on them simultaneously without moving your body from one side to another, thus increasing productivity and reducing time spent on just one activity: cutting vegetables.

5. In your library/reading room: If you do not have a separate reading room, use your standing desk in the library to read some books. You can also use it for other activities such as writing your journal or for just simply relaxing with a cup of coffee.

6. In a restaurant: A standing desk is good to have in restaurants when you are having lunch or dinner with your friends and colleagues. It will be helpful if you need to take notes or to photograph your food before eating it.

7. In your dining room: If your dining room does not have a table, use your stand up desk instead. This way you can eat without sitting for long periods of time or without feeling uncomfortable leaning on one leg only.

8. Wherever your iron clothes: In your wardrobe or in your bedroom, use your stand up desk to keep you fit, for better posture and for overall concentration.

It also allows you to concentrate more clearly on your tasks. Depending on the style of design you prefer, having an industrial stand up desk will allow you to be more productive, no matter what your workplace is. But even if working from a normal workstation does not require any special design for you to use it effectively, your standing desk will let you experience its benefits at the bottom line: comfort and less back pain.

Cleaning the garage or using your stand up desk to take care of the garden can be much easier, since you will not be working on your feet for long periods of time. Having a standing desk is not about forcing everyone in the office to suddenly stand all day long. It is about being more productive and healthier and also lowering stress levels. Some people will have no problem whatsoever with wearing special shoes, while others don’t mind either way.
