Section of the magazine
A desk that feels fine at nine in the morning can feel like a different piece of furniture by three in the afternoon, and that gap is where this section does its work. The entries deal with ordinary adjustments made with objects that are already in the room, and with the fact that no arrangement of furniture survives six unbroken hours in it.
Entries in this section
Every entry carries the date it was written. The dates are the only figures on this site that we ask anybody to take on trust, and they are the reason the order below is worth reading in either direction.

Most routines written for desk workers assume a mat, a change of clothes and ten minutes. What exists between two meetings is ninety seconds, standing up, in the clothes you are already wearing. Four movements fit in it.

The body is not much interested in which posture you chose and very interested in how long you have held it. The habit was never standing instead of sitting. It is switching, and a switch needs an event rather than a timer.

Nothing about a workstation is revealed in the first hour. Judge it at three in the afternoon, then change one thing at a time, working upwards from the floor: feet, chair, desk surface, screen.
The habits in Desk and Posture run into two neighbours more often than into any others. The first is Movement and Walking, where the question of walking is taken up from the other side, and the second is Stress and Calm, which handles the tension end of the same subject. Readers who prefer to follow the dates rather than the sections can do that from the front page, where every entry is listed in the order it was written.
