I stand or use my laptop while in a light stretching position on the floor while working in my home office, where I deliberately don't have a chair. In my Adobe office, I alternate between a standard chair and an exercise ball.

This took only a few weeks to transition into doing, and it made it so that I haven't had a moment of RSI-related pain in 10 years... after debilitating pain for the year or so right before. Spreading the stress/strain across both sides of my body means that neither side does too much in too short a time. I kept the right side for home because I'm originally a righty and didn't want this work adaptation to detract from my creative work at home. > > Also, no matter how busy I am, I force myself to take a short walk after every hour of stationary work.
