Week of being a standing developer…
After a week of developing code while standing, I have to say I feel as though I’m more productive. I have more energy during the day. Its not without some pain, though. Especially by 2PM, my feet hurt. Though my desk is motorized, I haven’t lowered it yet on these times. Just put on music and get back to work.
Honestly, the transition was easier then I expected. I figured I’d be whining tons by now. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done some complaining, but not as bad as I’d expect. Thankfully, I should now live longer though I still have yet to talk to my podiatrist considering I have flatfeet. I do use my chefs mat, which does help. A total luxury.
Side note, I’ve been listening to even more music during this process… as music takes my mind of my legs by getting them to move more. (I bounce my leg a bit when I listen.) End result is buying more MP3’s from Amazon. Last.fm monitors my progress…
