- I’m now three weeks into having a standing desk and I’ve been doing a 50/50
split of sitting and standing ever since. The most interesting thing so
far — and also one of the things I was very excited about — has been that
I’m no longer so tired after work. I’ve been finding that standing keeps me
going much longer (or, maybe, consistently?) which has always been something
I’ve struggled with,
- Another thing has been that I think I’ve split the past feeling of tiredness
and hunger at the end of the day: I can stop working, go and do something
else and then have dinner a bit later instead of needing to go eat right at
the point I finish. It’s much nicer.
- But I just had a week off where I did as little as possible apart from
sorting out this and that, a spot of gardening and visiting my Mum for the
first time eight months. It was particularly noticeable after a few
stressful weeks!
- In other news, I bought a NAS (network attached storage device). On the plan
it was an investment, I got a Synology DS1520+ which will fit five
drives (it is a little excessive!) plus the first 4TB HDD. I’ll be getting
more drives over the next six months. More to write up here on my plans for
it, but all the obvious stuff: backups, making some media accessible and
a few utility VMs.
