I am the proud owner of a standing desk. I’ve had it for about 6 weeks now and I LOVE it.

I stand up to coach and feel both more grounded and more flexible. I am less tired at the end of the day - less crunched up.

I get a ridiculous sense of joy when I press the button to move it up and down!

So, how did I make the decision to get one?

When you need to make an important decision, what comes up for you?

Do you agonise over the choices, worrying about what will happen if you make the wrong one?

Do you instinctively know which one feels right, but can’t quite bring yourself to make the final call?

Does it feel like you are stuck in the same thought cycle of pros and cons?

Do you ever have too many ideas crowding around in your head? Along with a ticker tape to do list? And another bucket of things you don’t want to forget?

Taking up valuable headspace that you’d really rather use to move forward?

Keeping you stuck where you are, rather than where you want to go?

It’s not just you.

Do you ever ask a question out loud to someone, and then immediately answer it yourself without need them to speak? This happens to me all the time.

I know I’m not alone, and last week I learned a new term for it.

‘Rubberducking’ is a hack in software development, and is the act of describing a coding problem to an inanimate object that won’t judge you, that often leads to finding the solution just a few moments later.
