Hydration habit
A gentle nudge to drink enough water.
The routine

Why this routine works
It is easy to forget to drink during a busy morning. A single reminder at 10:00 creates a deliberate pause to refill your glass or bottle and check in with yourself.
What you get out of it
- A prompt at the point you usually forget beats a vague intention to drink more
- A mid-morning pause gives you a chance to notice whether you have had anything to drink
- One nudge a day is small enough that you will not start ignoring it
How to make it stick
- Keep a filled bottle on your desk before the reminder arrives, so the action takes seconds
- Pair it with something you already do at that hour — the first meeting, the second coffee
- If you drink plenty already, delete the routine rather than muting the reminder
Questions people ask
How much water should I actually drink?
Fluid needs vary with your body, activity, weather and health. Use this routine as a reminder, not a fixed prescription; follow clinical advice if you have been told to limit or monitor fluids.
Do tea and coffee count?
Most drinks contribute to fluid intake. Choose what fits your day and any dietary or clinical guidance you follow.
