“Drink more water” is vague; design makes it automatic. Begin the day with 300–500 ml room‑temperature water before caffeine this restores overnight loss and jump‑starts alertness. Pair every coffee or tea with an equal volume of water. Keep a visible bottle in your work zone; aiming for transparent visibility increases sips. Add a pinch of mineral salt or a squeeze of lemon if plain water feels boring and you’re not restricted. Set two hydration anchors: after bathroom breaks and before meals. Eat water‑rich foods cucumber, greens, citrus, melon, broth‑based soups to support intake. Track with a simple four‑box grid; check a box per 500 ml and reset daily. If evenings drive bathroom trips, front‑load intake earlier and taper after 7 p.m. Notice improvements: fewer headaches, better skin feel, steadier energy. Hydration is not an all‑or‑nothing challenge; it’s a background rhythm. Keep it quiet, visible, and paired with habits you already do. Over time, “remembering” disappears and hydration becomes something your day does for you.
