There is evidence that standing is better for the human body than sitting. For work we have standing desks for computer work and such. Some aim to stand 8+ hours a day.

What about for other activities? How do the unemployed, retired, and homemarkers get in enough standing? Are there good ways to stand while reading a book, or sipping a coffee and enjoying the dawn?

    This is why I do a lot on my kitchen counter. Sometimes I’ll eat there, do knife sharpening and knife stuff there, you could read a book there, drink my coffee (it has the coffee machine too), etc. also my kitchen window has an excellent view of sunrise

      I look forward to using your kitchen counter to drink your coffee!

        Also if you do go through with that make sure to get a soft mat to stand on. Standing on a hard surface for long periods is also bad for you (and painful, and cold).

          Oh, don’t you have one? Or maybe we’d have to take turns until I can get mine
