I have a standing desk. So my monitor is visible to everyone in the area. Discourages me from doing anything other than work when I'm at work.

It's not like someone is going to comment that I've been looking at Facebook at work, but it helps trick me into not doing anything unproductive.

How do you stand people walking behind you all day? That would drive me nuts. Also, I work remotely, but I have been thinking about live streaming my desktop as a similar discouragement from slacking during work hours.

You get used to working in a dense workspace after a while. I think companies mainly like dense workspaces because it costs less, while justifying it as increasing collaboration. I don't need much collaboration at my job.

Working remotely takes a lot of discipline that I don't think I have. I do work from home once in a while, but it's a lot tougher to motivate yourself everyday.

Another advantage of a standing desk is that.. you're standing, not relaxing. Once at my desk, I don't want to procrastinate - I'm here to work.
