The fitbit nags me ten minutes before the end of every hour if I haven't done 250 steps that hour. I can just march on the spot, but I try to make my movement break do something useful if possible. Is it tidy this room? Is it walk around the house and find dirty dishes and take them to the kitchen? Is it move the laundry on a step (from wash to dry to fold to put away)?
The Dana K. White method is quite useful because it minimises hard decisions. (Basically: pull out everything that's actual rubbish/recycling and bin it, that has a home elsewhere and take it there, or that you actually want to give away and have a donation box to fill. Often, that's enough to make it easy to sort out what's left, but if not, there's a couple of further questions to ask yourself.
I am half-assing this because I'm just piling things up to go to the recycling bin / donation box / home elsewhere in this house (I have rehomed things where the home is in this room, at least), but it's quite satisfying and it is pretty decision-light.
As for getting well: at the moment I'm not ill. I only know I have covid because I tested before going to see a friend who's very high risk from covid, and the test result was an unpleasant surprise. If I start feeling at all ill, I'm going to rest up, but in the mean time I guess I feel like if I'm stuck in here I might as well do something other than read fanfic.
