Most people do not fail at hydration because they lack information. They fail because hydration competes with a hundred other small decisions every day. The fix is to remove the decision entirely.
Anchor it to something you already do
Habits stick when they attach to existing routines. Fill a bottle while your coffee brews. Drink a glass before every meal. Keep a stick pack next to your toothbrush as a visual cue for your first glass of the day.
Make it taste like something you want
Plain water is easy to skip. A lightly flavored, sugar-free mineral mix gives you a reason to reach for your bottle without adding sweeteners or calories you do not want.
