I have pull-up bars on door frames (eg- between the office, bathroom, and kitchen) and some free weights scattered around, and I should probably get some resistance bands now that I don't have Pilates machine.
As you walk around, hoist yourself up, do a lunge or two, and have some water handy. Make it easy on yourself to jump up and do, and you will. Most importantly, have a place to periodically close your eyes and relax. If my eyes are open and working all day, by evening, I often can't focus them. I started giving myself a just a moment every hour or so to "rest my eyes", and it's made a world of difference.
Also, either position yourself so you can look out of a window to the distance periodically or take short walks outside. Lens plasticity diminishes over time, and I was getting pounding headaches after near-focusing all day and then hopping in a car and focusing far.
Not recommending a nootropic brew, but I take 5g creatine daily. This has had the largest single impact on my routine and recovery. No more DOMS, the benefits of even brief exercise time are compounded, and I feel like a teenager after the first set of reps. And no, you won't water bloat at 5g; my face gets puffier after a bowl of pasta than taking a 15g preload and over-hydrating.
Lastly, have at least one good chair. I went from bulging discs, not being able to sit without discomfort, and persistent sciatica and neuropathy to being able to sleep through the night after getting a HM Embody (I have a congenital back deformity. Talk to your doctor, ymmv, etc). A good chair being uncomfortable is a sign your body needs to heal and regain strength - an 8-9 months process for me. You don't need a headrest; your neck will be tired only until it can support the weight of your head again. Your back will feel tired as muscles that have atrophied are re-engaged. Nothing will press on the backs of your legs and impede bloodflow, and the seat will not place strain on your prostate. Even if you're (young and) healthy and not struggling with any of this now, the damage from them is cumulative and insidious.
