Repurpose your normal desk with as low as 30\u20ac.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

I spend 8 hours a day working seated. I have about 3 hours of meals and 3 hours of commute a day. That means I may easily spend 14 hours sitting (plus 8 sleeping).<\/p>\n

That’s bad, no doubt.<\/a> To mitigate that I try to replace some of that time with standing<\/a>. When commuting, I always stand. When having meals, at home or at the mall, I use the “bar table” to eat while standing. It’s not as uncomfortable as it sounds.<\/p>\n

The strategy is to cut sitting time whenever possible. A small but frequent change like this has a big impact long-term.<\/p>\n

The goal<\/h3>\n

At work I have a proper standing desk, but at home I have one of those old table + bookcase furniture, which makes impossible any standing set up. When working I use my laptop most of times… if only I could find a way to raise it…<\/p>\n

Prototype<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My DIY prototype costed me 6\u20ac, with just two files. It’s more stable than it looks and gets the job done #minimalist<\/code> #desenrascan\u00e7o<\/code><\/p>\n

Caveat:<\/strong> However, the constant pressure weight of my arms started deforming the files. So I found the perfect replacement: Levit8<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s fast to set up and easy to fold and put it away. I ordered from Amazon, as it was cheaper than buying directly from the brand \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Caveat:<\/strong> While that worked great, my heels started complaining. At work, the floor is soft carpet so this (first world) problem never occurred before. The solution was a standing mat: Topo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Better solution<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are cheaper and totally fat alternatives to this mat. I decided that Ergodriven deserved my 100\u20ac because their design naturally makes your legs and feet change position once in a while. That’s great on your joints because it releases the tension that builds up after you stand still for a long time.<\/p>\n

Best solution<\/h3>\n

That’s it. With 130\u20ac I was able to convert an average 40\u20ac desk into a standing desk. It’s still lower than the cheapest standing desk from IKEA.<\/p>\n

Is this combo perfect? No, it has a major flaw.<\/strong> I’m still looking down to the screen. That causes me neck pain at the end of the day. That will only be solved by a proper standing desk with a raised monitor.<\/p>\n

One day…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
