Just hit 30 days straight on my water bottle refill habit

I used to grab a new plastic bottle every time I went out, like three a day easy. Last month I bought a $12 metal one and started tracking refills with a sticky note on my fridge. Anybody else find a simple trick that actually stuck for keeping you hydrated?

That sticky note method is smart, it makes the habit visible and hard to ignore. I do something similar with my phone, I set a recurring alarm for every two hours that says "chug time" on the lock screen. Keeps me from zoning out at my desk for half the day without drinking anything.

I actually read this study recently that said even mild dehydration can mess with your focus more than people realize, something like a 2% drop in water levels leads to fatigue and headaches. That alarm trick is genius because it turns water breaks into a non-negotiable thing, like a meeting on your calendar. I tried an app once that tracked my intake but I kept ignoring the notifications, so a physical alarm sounds way harder to snooze lol. I might steal that idea honestly, my desk setup is basically a coffee graveyard half the time.
