Great read thanks, i can relate. I have been doing physical work all my life then in 2005 i started getting semi savvy with using the internet, in 2007 i found a virtual world which later the same year i became a developer there. Since then i have been working from home. It took me a few years of being a hermit crab and days just blending into eachother , and sometimes not even realizing what day it was and what major news stories were happening, that i realized something was off,lol. I also noticed i was adding a bit of weight around the middle section. So i decided enough was enough. I found a balance with building a standup desk that i can use sitting, i started exercising again at home, and forced myself out of the house to get fresh air. If you have a good balance with diet,exercise your productivity goes through the roof. Balance is key.
you are 100% right. Glad I'm not alone!
Hey man. I don't think that adding so shine signature on Steem in every comment is legit. I will struggle with that. Please, don't do that.
Some people walk on a (slow) treadmill while behind their computer, interesting option!
I have tried that but i like to be stationery..Just by standing up you increase your metabolic rate to help burn fat. I find about 20-30 minutes at a time is all i can handle(unless i so focused i actually forget i am standing up,lol which does happen,) then i will sit again. But as long as your not sitting for more than 30-60 minutes at a time then it is good...but the main thing is the posture, i was getting issues with not only my back but one of my legs was starting to weird out as well, so it was a matter of having to find a solution . All i know is that since i made changes my productivity is 10x better.
