My fitbit sort of helps remind me to stand up every hour but drinking tea helps too since I get up at least once an hour to make tea. On occasion though I get lost in a task and hours pass before I finally stand up. I am also quite fidgety so always somewhat in motion. And I try to take meetings standing up (and usually pacing around or stretching).

Unfortunately having plantar fasciatis means I cannot use a standing desk due to the pain.

I also make sure to take a short walk at lunchtime or move and stretch while waiting for the kettle to boil. And not stare at my screen during lunch but rather colour in or knit or something else.
