Staying hydrated rarely needs a big plan. It usually comes down to a few small habits that fit into the day you already have.
1. Start the morning with a glass
Keep a bottle of water by your bed or on the kitchen counter, and make it the first thing you reach for.
2. Carry a pack that suits your day
A compact 250 ML or 500 ML pack slips easily into a bag for commutes and errands, while a 1 L pack works well at a desk.
3. Pair water with routines
A glass before each meal, or one every time you finish a call, turns drinking water into a habit instead of something you have to remember.
4. Keep it visible
Water that is within sight gets drunk. Keep a bottle on your work table and refill it before it runs out.
5. Make it a shared habit
Offer water to guests, colleagues and family. It is a simple way to look after the people around you, and it reminds you to drink too.
