## 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.
