This is a smart idea, but it made me think: I'd like to see some productivity/exercise/lifehacks for those of us who are stuck with inflexible managers or retrograde office cultures. I know I'd be vastly more productive if I could knock off around 2:00pm for a thirty-minute nap (or jog, depending) every day but unfortunately my company takes an Office Space-style approach to personnel management. It'd be great to see what people who have worked years in similar environments have been able to come up with.

Even at flexible workplaces, it's hard to find a place to nap unless there is a free room/couch somewhere. I tried taking a nap on a bench at Yerba Buena Gardens once but was kicked off the bench by the Park Guardians. :(

When I can't fit in a nap, a brisk walk gives me a good energy boost or even switching to standing at my desk... in fact, I'm about to switch to standing now. Have you tried that?

Need a standing desk?
