[I have been meaning to list all this out; somehow it happened first/more easily on twitter.]
Favorite meditation postures/combinations (unordered): sitting, lying down back/sides, Zhan Zhuang / standing, walking, running/jogging, yoga asanas, eyes open/closed, earplugs +/-, eye shades / complete darkness +/-, netflix, amazon video, facebook, twitter, watching blog stats

Ah, also like "erect kneeling", knees on something padded, and otherwise "standing" straight. (If I'm doing standing meditation and my feet start to hurt, I switch between standing and this type of kneeling.) Different postures change salience of different feedback loops. Safer.

more distinctions: sitting without back support, sitting with back support (still erect), and hella slumped in some comfortable couch or chair in some long-term comfortable way. always mix with erect/unsupported sitting and standing!

Of course sometimes (often) it would be completely counterproductive, but, during some regimes, netflix/hulu/amazon video are great for the boring, lonely meditative or entrepreneurial grind. What is this timeline

Ah, protip: You find something with many seasons that is semi-repetitive and not *too* good. Then less cognitive burden while meditating and net less boredom. (If you are going through stuff where tv is interfering or crutch then, again, counterproductive.)
Glamorous / exciting!

Oh, more for completeness: leaning with back (butt) against low things like countertops where everything above the lean is unsupported/erect. Leaning back against walls. Finally, sometimes facing wall bracing with hands.
