Joanna Coles, editor in chief of Cosmopolitan, takes time for analog tasks like reading the paper at her treadmill desk.

When I called Owen Thomas to talk about the productivity-boosting properties of a treadmill desk, he was, not surprisingly, walking the walk as he talked the talk. He was on his treadmill.

That’s because Thomas, editor-in-chief of tech news site ReadWrite, is several months into his practice of walking while working--usually about 10 miles a day when he’s not traveling. That’s not to say he’s treading the rubber belt for eight hours continuously. Thomas reports that his longest stretch of walking was three hours.
