I'm just about to raise the desk on bricks or something, but before I do something so aesthetically unpleasing, I was wondering if anyone has any tips for keeping the circulation going while doing computer work for long periods of time. Other than getting up and walking around. I try to do that, but I tend to get totally focussed when I work, and it's hard for me to stop and then it's hard for me to start up again.

Why not bring in a footrest that goes to another chair? It probably won't match your desk and chair at work but it'll look a lot better than building something out of bricks.
