First things first: ditch the sad, tiny bathroom cup. You know the one—the little plastic thing that holds exactly six sips. That cup is a weapon of mass dehydration. It makes refilling so annoying that you’d rather risk a kidney stone than walk to the kitchen again.
Get a vessel you actually enjoy looking at. A monstrous 32-ounce bottle with a straw? Yes. A sleek glass carafe that makes you feel like a fancy European cafe owner? Even better. I bought a bottle with motivational time markers (“9 AM – Sip like a champ!”) and it’s the only timeline I haven’t abandoned.
The rule is simple: keep it visible and close. If it’s on your desk, you’ll drink it. If it’s in the car, you’ll drink it. If it’s in the basement next to the old treadmill, it will collect dust and spiders. You are a creature of convenience—embrace it.
