If you learned that you could increase your productivity by almost 50% by making one near-effortless change, you'd probably try it. But at what point would you question whether the advice was too good to be true?
A recent study from Texas A&M University found that employees who used sit-stand desks were 46% more productive than those at traditional desks. Major news media ran with the eye-catching stat, and readers gobbled up the information, believing they, too, could be wildly more productive if only they had the right desk. Who wouldn't want to be more productive by putting in so little extra effort?
