Anecdotally, I have had a sit-stand desk for 6 months. I sit for tasks which require typing and stand for the majority of calls I participate in. I average about 2 hours of calls a day.

Before getting the desk I would get stiff in the day from over-sitting. Since getting the desk that is been corrected. When standing I find I am more expressive in calls and feel I fidget less while listening. I should note I sometimes catch myself with the desk at a weird height and I have taken on a gollum pose crouched on my chair.

I think I would agree that the level of computing work is slightly impaired while standing. I am not sure the reasoning. I feel my posture is good and it is comfortable to do. Perhaps cognitively this is not a task I have enough practice doing while standing.

+1 on standing for meetings/calls. I’ve found it helps me be more alert and pay more attention, and the change of posture prevents getting sore from sitting on my ass all day.

Hah have had a standing desk that you can sit and code on too for ~ 6 years. I think I’m the other way around, I prefer standing for coding, as I can concentrate and forget which position my body is actually in. But meetings are just sooo much less bandwidth of information that I get bored easily. Standing for them just feels silly to me, so I either walk around or sit somewhere comfortable like a couch / sofa / balcony and enjoy drinking some tea.
