I stand the whole time when working but, as I work from home, I regularly walk around my apartment and take small breaks to move around. If I take a break for a coffee, for example, I may go and sit on a sofa or something.

When I first got my standing desk a few years ago I read how you should probably split your days between sitting and standing at first but even after the first few hours standing I didn't want to sit. Needless to say, listen to your body and not to general recommendations. While they may mean well, only you know how things feel.
