    how arbitrary is the 30 minute variable?

    have there been studies comparing which is optimally effective—moving every hour, half-hour or 45 minutes?

    this sounds like the 10,000 step hoax! even apple watch sets ghe stand-up ratio at 60 minutes.

    the goal is to move more not to be a time manager

    it’s so silly to think any working person could get up & move around willy-nilly every half hour!

      In the original study, the research found that the frequency had the most benefit, however, seeing as it’s pretty unsustainable, we reconnected with Keith Diaz and he suggested that you could reduce the frequency and still see benefits.

    I already kinda do this but I just stand up and stretch at my desk. I can’t leave my work space as often but getting up helps.

      Marching or dancing in place has been a game changer for this challenge

How to Stop Homelessness Before It Starts | Jen Loving | TED

Homelessness can feel like an issue that’s too big and complicated to fix, something we’ve learned to walk past. Jen Loving, who leads the nonprofit Destination: Home, has spent her entire life proving that mindset is wrong. She shows why we must stop waiting until someone is pushed outside before intervening — and introduces Right at Home, a proven model helping communities across the US keep people from becoming homeless in the first place. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 17, 2026)
