Ben Casnocha has some interesting reflections on walking meetings and thinking. He makes the observation that
“walking meetings involve trade-offs, and before you propose them, you should be sure the topic you want to discuss is well-suited to a walking format.”
He also writes about treadmill desks and says, that for him:
“There’s a parallel to walking meetings. Standing desks are great for “exertion” — it tires my legs, which helps me sleep better, and sleep’s the key to everything. I stand about half the day; while standing I do email, web browsing, and other lightweight tasks. But serious thinking and writing? I have to sit.”
Obviously this reflects his own experience an may not generalize to others. Indeed, many sing the praise of the treadmill desk:
