You know that was what I found initially. I can now get into a zone standing up. I did realise that I like to pace when thinking and standing assists that. I also find that standing at whiteboard when thinking makes up for the sitting with a pad and pen for doing design. However I'm the kind of person who draws pictures in his head to help the thinking process so standing, pacing and moving my arms about (bit like 90s sci Fi) works for me.
