This episode focuses on one habit with surprising power to slow you down, in work and in life. We’re talking about sitting, or, more precisely, the widespread trend of sitting down during way too much of the workday. Our guest is Doctor of Physical Therapy Stefan Zavalin. In his new book, Sit Less, Stefan explains how reducing the time you spend sitting could improve both your health and your productivity. Today we talk about how and why you should create a new habit of getting up and moving around more often. And we explore Stefan’s vision, which includes changing organizational cultures to bring more movement to the everyday life of office workers.
