Yes, drinking plain water is the best bet. But if you need a little more drama than that, you’re not alone.
I keep a giant, ridiculous-looking water bottle on my desk. It’s the size of a small fire extinguisher, and it’s my only hope.
The trick? I put a few rubber bands around it. Every time I finish a bottle, I slide one down. It’s like little water-drank trophies.
Make It a Game, Not a Chore
Think of it like leveling up in a video game where the reward is not dying of dehydration. Set a timer on your phone to chime every hour.
When it goes off, you don't have to chug a gallon. Just take a few respectful sips. It’s like feeding your internal fish—they’re always hungry.
I once tried to drink a huge glass of water right before bed. Bad move. I woke up at 3 a.m. feeling like I had to cross a desert to find a bathroom. Pacing is everything.
