When you step up to the plate, you know what you’re trying to do.

Get on base. See some pitches. Drive in a run. Whatever.

This is kind of like what it’s like to use a standing desk.

Except this analogy makes it seem like you’ll only work for five minutes, four to six times per day.

Maybe it’s like basketball.

Run around and play until you’re tired and need to sit for a minute. Stretch before and after.

Yeah.

Having a standing desk is like playing basketball all day.

It’s definitely not like playing soccer. They get nothing done.
