Working against laziness and business every single day to fight my natural quarantine sedentarism

I have been working so hard to fight malaise in Winter plus Quarantine plus Coronavirus so it is important for me to be as active as possible.
Working against laziness and business every single day to fight my natural quarantine sedentarism

GymBoss Timer

I try to keep myself as active as possible by making sure I work from my standing treadmill desk, try to live on Zwift walking, and I also have three GymBOSS timers aggressively beeping at me every fifteen minutes to encourage me to do something active for three minutes of something besides working through the day.

I am doing something a little different... I'm swinging a kettlebell for 90-seconds every 60-minutes

And I am working as much as a can from a treadmill desk and I am getting about only 3.1-5 miles a day on it and then I have a GymBOSS timer to remind me to do the swings. I have added heavy kettlebell deadlifts to my day and I have the timer set up for 3 minutes work and 15 minutes delay because I often miss the beeps a lot and then I just need to be reminded again when I have the time. It's a constant war against my laziness and my business. So, I over-schedule and then hope, by the end of the day, that at least I wasn't completely sedentary! :)

So since I can't find anyone else on the internet talking about this program aside from you and the author, mind if I ask you what your typical day looks like following it?  I was hoping the book would have something along those lines.

I totally missed that. Wow, that's awesome. I think it is what you think
it is: doing the squats while holding up the weight... leg squats not
shrugs. I really just think getting any kind of breaking up the day as
part of that even if it's bodyweight so I get I was seriously
(mis)interpreting it.
