I think I drink almost no water during the day, just other drinks, which, as we all know, is unhealthy.   
Plastic reusable water bottles always start smelling, so I do not want to drink from them very soon.  
So I bought a metal bottle big enough for me to drink just two of them daily. I also chose a pretty one for extra dopamine.   
Let’s see how it does!

Reminder... You need reminder

So Julia, how’s it going ? Are your drinking now (water of course 😅) ?  
I must say, I drink a lot more since I started using Numo : I have a task for the morning drinking and the afternoon drinking !  
And of course, a very nice reusable bottle too 🥰

WaterLama helped me a lot, I just established this routine and it works. They have discount offer for lifetime, I paid like 9€, but it totally worth it!

I started this habit a few months ago as well, so far it's working just fine.   
I've tried a few tactics and bottles, my magic recipe was:  
- bottle must be transparent, so I am always reminded there's water left  
- needs to be in direct view, eg on the work desk  
- had to write down a reminder next to the front door at home: "Have you packed your bottle?"

Since then my kidneys are finally happier ^^

I want to personalise a water bottle with stickers. Hopefully it'll make me smile and therefore drink more water. Your bottle is lovely

Every week I get a new life water bottle with the sippy top and use this at work.

I’ve tried this but end up just leaving it laying around 🤣. 

I try to stack water on other habits but still probably not drinking as much as I should.
