This agrees with your experience with “hassle”: from an article linked to by bcoburn in the munchkin thread:
In our field studies of sit-stand workstations we have found little evidence of widespread benefits and users only stand for very short-periods (15 minutes or less total per day). Other studies have found that the use of sit-stand stations rapidly declines so that after 1 month a majority of people are sitting all the time, so compliance can be problematic.
Do you have strong reasons to not just stand all the time while using your computer?
I use a standing desk all the time at home (which, until recently, was also my primary office). I think that shifting away from the computer when too tired to stand may be worth considering as a deliberate strategy.

It often feels better to sit down, especially when I’m tired.
I have been for about 20 days standing unless I’m doing the most important thing I could be doing. Standing is an antiprocrastination device.
I just gave a talk to about 60 people at Smith College’s Executive Education for Women program on rationality and I mentioned this idea. Thanks.
