Here are 3 of my favorite hacks for drinking more water…
1. Sip before every meal.
If you are making dinner at home, sip while you cook and prep. If you're out at a restaurant, ask for water when the server comes around to take drink orders. If you're waiting for your lunch to heat up or your toast to pop, drink water while doing it. Even if you're putting together a snack, drink that water. Habit stacking for the win!
2. Use an app to track your cups and set reminders.
I don't know about you, but I LOVE an app that can hold me accountable. Keeping up with how many glasses I’ve finished has been easy (and fun) with the help of this free app:
Water-Reminder - Daily Tracker (
IOS and
Android). The app's reminders/alerts feature is also clutch (let's be real, it's so easy to have water right in front of you and
still forget to drink it!).
3. Set bite-size goals throughout the day.
Instead of setting one big goal of drinking 10 cups a day, give yourself smaller goals by setting time deadlines. For example, drink two glasses of water by 10 A.M., four by lunch, six by 2 P.M., eight by 4pm, and 10 by 6pm. Bite-size goals are a game-changer and can feel less overwhelming.
Hope this helps!
