Stand and deliver
I’ve been shopping for a standing desk.
We’ve been told that sitting is the new smoking.
The solution?
Stand while you work.
You know who’s not shopping for standing desks?
Construction workers.
Electricians.
Firefighters.
Doctors.
Nurses.
Teachers.
The sitting?
Not the problem.
The standing desk answers the question, “How can I be better at staying at my desk?”
Or: “How do I make abject misery less so?”
Instead: “Why am I spending so much time at my desk?” The answer is going to be something about your job. What role you play at work. How your cog fits into the machine that helps you keep the lights on.
Our need for a standing desk is a direct correlation to how useful we are, whether to a society, or a system.
