    Do not log work. Exercise means exercise—everything else (including work, housework, yard work & child care) is part of your activity level.

    You select your work level by means of selecting your Activity Level.

    If you selected Sedentary - you are no where near sedentary, that would be Lightly Active at the least, if rest of your non-exercise day is sitting on your duff.
    If rest of the day outside work still includes a fair bit of walking around, helping with kids, pets, housework, ect - then honest level would be Active.

    And that's why you don't log daily activities - you include them by selecting correct activity level.
