Here are some ideas to help you remember to drink water:
Top 5 reasons to drink water
1. Phone reminders
- Set a phone alarm to sound or vibrate every hour.
- Send yourself a voicemail or text message reminder.
2. Computer reminders
- Schedule an appointment in your calendar to drink water.
- Use a pop-up reminder on your computer.
- Send yourself an e-mail reminder.
3. Personal reminders
- Ask friends, family members, or co-workers to remind you.
4. Home reminders
- Keep post-it note reminders where you’ll see them.
5. Keep water in sight
- Stock up on water and keep a bottle in your purse or by your wallet or car keys.
- Keep water in your desk drawer at work, on top of your TV at home, etc.
- If you drink from a water purifier or the kitchen sink, keep a drinking glass in places you will see it.
Even with the best of intentions it is hard to remember to drink water once you get busy with your day. Reminders will be helpful until drinking water becomes a habit.
