I'm actually working on an app for myself to remind me of that.
For example, there is a full glass of water sitting on my desk from 9am. It's noon. I haven't taken a sip. Until now.
Constant reminders do work.
- deberon 1y agoOh shit I missed my water break. Thanks for the reminder friend.
- apsurd 1y agoHow come it's so hard for people to drink water? Honest question. Like why don't you just wake up in the morning, take a whiz, brush your teeth, and drink a glass of water? What gets in between? Because the first two are 99% success rate I'd bet.
- icelancer 1y agoBecause most people drink to thirst, not out of habit.
- SketchySeaBeast 1y agoBut is that bad? Do people actually need to drink more than they are thirsty for? Why is it that our hunger sense is over-tuned, but conventional wisdom says that our hydration sense is under-tuned? Honestly, I feel like "always be drinking" only appeared once bottled water did.
- nemomarx 1y agoHonestly I forget brushing more than I should too, and I skip breakfast most days even though I'm hungry. The friction required to pour the glass or set things up can be a lot early in the morning. It helped me to get a water cooler or something to fill a bottle?
