+## Working While Standing for Focus
+
+Yesterday Baker (our current project engineer)
+asked if I use the standing mode of my desk often.
+I told him I really didn't,
+except to show multiple people something on my screens.
+Thinking of [[kahneman_2011_thinking]],
+I stated that this was a conscious choice
+because one can not think as deeply while standing as while sitting.[^1]
+
+[^1]: This is mostly justification for a preexisting behavior.
+    I think the largest part of my tendency
+    is that I don't like people watching me work.
+
+He clarified that he did this in order to _focus_,
+which I have heard before but never gave much credit.
+I then made the now obvious connection
+that impairing deep thinking is exactly the method
+by which standing improves focus.
