Hello, everyone!
I recently decided to give working at my computer while standing up a try, and guess what? I actually liked it! Now, I've found a balance by alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day, which has positively impacted my focus and productivity.So, has anyone else tried working standing up? I'm eager to hear your thoughts and experiences with this approach.

I personally haven't only because I know there are certain desks that can be adjustable to allow stand up working but I don't have that. I have seen somewhere that working standing up is supposed to help with focus because I guess you don't feel all sluggish sitting down or whatever. I think it definitely would feel weird if I tried it but I think I can see the appeal for it. I probably wouldn't do *all* my work standing up maybe a bit standing and a bit sitting just to stretch my legs every now and then because it can feel uncomfortable for me sitting if I stay there for a long time

Adopting a Stand-Up Workstyle
Unfortunately, due to back problems I've had from birth (just over 47 years), I physically can't stand up for long periods, to the extent I can't even pee in a Urinal.

So I am assuming you do have an adjustable desk that allows you to stand up? If not, or if you have any suggestions, what are the alternatives?
