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
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.

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. ↩︎
