Over the next days/weeks I will show you one item of my workplace per post and tell you about the benefits and why I think it’s superior
We start with the most important one, so you don’t end up like the guy above
The Desk:
It’s one of the workplace items that are most beneficial for your health
I always wondered why I got tired right after waking up
No wonder
I got up and sat in front of the PC
No way my circulation had any chance waking up too
Beside that, sitting is considered a serious health issue today
8h+ of sitting will not only kill you long term
It will also make your stay on earth until then not very pleasant
Your back will hurt, same as your neck and shoulders
And with your shrimp like posture, you won’t have much luck with all the ladies
You don’t want that, do you?
Standing more prevents that
You are more in motion that way
We’ll get into more detail in future posts
Details:
Mine is from LINAK
It’s just the frame
You can put there any desk top you want
Mine is just standard oak wood, 160x80cm
Price for the frame + desk top was 600-700 Euros
Don’t get this IKEA crap
Beside being wobbly they are lacking basic safety features
For example, they don’t stop automatically when there’s something in their way
Might crush furniture (or worse, your legs/hands/arms)
Add-Ons:
I added a cable duct, so the cables are properly stored
A drawer for pens, small stuff like hard discs, a few cables, ledger 🤡
And a mount for a desktop
That’s it
Looks like nothing special, but it’s a game changer
Do some standing work just in the morning, and you will feel so much better and energized during the day
Your posture will be much better
Your lower back and hips will stop hurting and stop feeling stiff
Blood can circulate much better through your system, which gives better focus
