That’s been my general approach too, but it’s not been the most stable approach. Especially when I’ve been working in the garden and they’ve gotten filthy and need a good scrub. Which is why I tried the sitting down approach at one point, but on a slippery surface with no hand holds and very little space getting up again was a bit challenging. Now I can either sit down or have something to put my foot on, I consider it a big improvement.
