Sitting without movement breaks is not only tedious but also harmful: from spine disease to hemorrhoids, many diseases can afflict you simply from sitting in a chair all day. Here's what you can do:

Before starting work, organize: make a note of your tasks for the day and simply cross out accomplished ones. It will ease your workload and release a bit of stress.
Once every two hours, walk around, even a few steps. Take a couple of minutes to see a nice view or simply imagine one. It will also help with stress, but also keep you in shape and help your circulation.Twice every day, do a few minutes of exercise: turn your head, tilting it as much as you can so that the ear to be as close to the shoulder without having to lift your shoulders, first clockwise, then counterclockwise.
Sit properly in a chair, legs at a right angle, and tighten buttocks muscles, in halves of ten strains.
Lift your shoulders up and down, without standing or raising your hands: breathe deeply when lifting and exhale strongly when lifting the shoulders.
