@DenisFarr thanks for reading. ;)

@kenromano thanks man!

@waynedenner ha ha. Sounds good! (mine has the advantage of being relatively new - I just moved in).

@TimTulloch thanks Tim! Was there anything in particular you found helpful or interesting?

@DenisFarr thanks man. Did you read the blog post that goes with it? http://justinjackson.ca/i-quit-my-desk/

@spastk yes. Normally with an external monitor, but I've been using only my laptop at my new office (waiting for my monitor to come).

I had a lot of comments on how clean my desk looked in yesterday's post. Here's what my desk really looks like today.

@waynedenner sweet. Let me know if it's helpful for you once you implement it.

@Algumwood thanks for sharing my post!

@Workshifting thanks!

@bryanarchy true. Although, I think one reason this "flowed" is I've done a lot of thinking/writing on this in the past.

@iambrianyoung If you're interested in seeing my set-up, I blogged about it here:
http://justinjackson.ca/building-a-standing-desk/

@Imtim2 for me it was just showing leadership. I convinced my boss to let me build one, and 3 coworkers followed suit! http://justinjackson.ca/building-a-standing-desk/

@Katie___L I'm glad you liked the post!

@bryanarchy hey thanks man. It's funny, I didn't put as much thought into that one. It just kind of "flowed." Obviously it struck a chord.

@nwallman I actually only stand 50%-75% of my day. The rest is sitting and leaning. The 2 keys were a barstool and a standing mat.

@TessaJeanMiller I followed you, but you'll need to follow me in order to DM. I'll email you now.

@andrewartajos ha ha. Thanks.

@MattRix YES! People don't want to do that work. They want tricks (like disabling Facebook), but finding what's behind it is the key.

Go ahead, have a beer at the office http://buff.ly/J9QDqF

@katievojtko thanks for tweeting my post!

@nwallman Thanks for tweeting my post!

@__tosh hey Thomas, thanks so much!

@MyUpDesk hey, thanks! Yes. Standing can be really helpful.

@mm53bar Holy crap. Yes. It's crazy.

@iambrianyoung beautiful! Do you think any of my 4 points my be helpful to you?

@Imtim2 ha ha. Thanks for sharing my post! Yes, I have quit sitting (most of the time). I generally stand 50%-75% of my day.

@TessaJeanMiller done!

@TyronBache hey, thanks for sharing my post! You chose one of my favorite quotes on your Tumblr. Cheers!

@jcdelannoy Thanks for tweeting my post! I didn't realize that BioWare had an office in Montreal. I'm originally from #YEG.

@waynedenner thanks Wayne! What point was the most impactful for you?

@adamtrouncer I like the idea of batch processing email. I should do that. I'm an #inboxzero guy; but I achieve it by always checking.

@weheartgames ha ha. I'm glad you liked my post! You might also want to check out my 8 habits for being productive: http://justinjackson.ca/8-habits/

@spastk yes; the key is to get a barstool and a standing mat. I only stand 50%-75% of the time. The rest is sitting and leaning.

@ChooParrProds @MattRix yes; "mind at rest" has been shown to develop more breakthroughs.

@MattRix thanks for the tweet! Which point was the most significant for you?

@kevinkaiser thanks for tweeting my post! Was there one point that was more significant for you?

CRAZY! Yesterday I wrote this post and it went #1 on @HackerNews. http://buff.ly/SriZMP This is what my stats look like.

@wpengine my blog post went #1 on Hacker News today. I'd just switched to you guys. My site didn't go down once.

@theblakeayers This is what I built: http://justinjackson.ca/building-a-standing-desk/ The most important piece is actually the barstool.

@theblakeayers do you use a standing desk right now?

@ThatLeeGuy it depends! "New research shows that mild intoxication can actually boost creative problem solving" http://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/go-ahead-have-a-beer-at-the-office.html

"Obsess about things that are difficult to measure: the level of joy or relief or gratitude your best customers feel." http://buff.ly/PTmAn8

@timkastelle Yes! With a standing desk, I feel more freedom to walk away. When I sit, I'm more likely to stay and surf the web.

@bluespore thanks for tweeting about my post! Was point 3 the most significant for you?

@StartupDigest thanks for tweeting about my post!

@housecor thanks for tweeting my post! I'm a product manager for .NET web app; we're just getting in to RESTful. Tips for moving from SOAP?

@dorinmoise hey, thanks for tweeting my post! Which part did you like the best?

@wollepb thanks for tweeting my post! Was there one particular point that was more relevant to you than the others?

@winsontang thanks for tweeting my post! Nice to meet another fellow from BC that's into workplace productivity. ;)

@zipcerio thanks for tweeting my post!

@timkastelle thanks for tweeting my post! Which point (of the 4) did you like the best?

@catspyjamasnz yes! I call it "screen sucking."

@spastk thanks for tweeting my post! Are you a programmer that works from home, or in an office?

@JackDamn thanks for tweeting about my post! That's a good summary! You reduced the whole thing to 4 words. ;)

@RickMeasham thanks for tweeting my post!

@salimane sweet! Thanks for tweeting about my post. Have you done anything else to make your desk work more productive?

@catspyjamasnz thanks for tweeting about my post! Are you saying you're tethered to your desk? ;)

@romant thanks for tweeting about my post! Yes, No. 2 is difficult in an office environment. For me, gradually working remotely solved it.

@adamtrouncer thanks for tweeting about my post! Are there other unproductive things you would cut out?

@bobpotter thanks for tweeting about my post! Was there one particular point that was more relevant to you than the others?

@newsyc150 thanks for tweeting about my post! I'm guessing it's automatic, but I still appreciate it. ;)

@shubhambansal Thanks for tweeting about my post!

@TeufelAbgott Thanks for tweeting about my post! Not treating my desk like a socialstation, eatingstation, or mediastation has really helped

@__underscore Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I always fight it, but stepping away from the desk is seriously the most productive thing I do.

@DrewMoxon I've never heard of the Pomodoro technique before! I just checked it out. It seem like something that could work for me.

@vladikoff Yes! I list all the components here: http://justinjackson.ca/building-a-standing-desk/

@kylefox Thanks! Literally my top number of views on my blog up until today was 748. Today? 26,127 (and still counting).

@DrewMoxon Thanks for sharing the post. How does your "get work done" area/device differ from the "I'm not working" area/device?

@amyhoy ha ha, thanks. #4 now. ;) This is pretty much what my blog stats look like.

@mm53bar @michaelbridge I just wrote a blog post based on this discussion. ;) http://justinjackson.ca/i-quit-my-desk/

@mm53bar @michaelbridge for problem-solving, I think away from the desk is best. For executing: at the desk. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/228306655283122176

@amcwilliam nice!

@ashleyglen it's amazing in the summer, but you can't beat Christmas in this area. Do you ever go up to Silver Star?

Just landed in #YLW. It's going to be great to be back home in #vernonbc.
