A Morning Hydration Routine That Survives a Busy Week

Most hydration advice fails for the same reason most routines fail: it asks you to remember something at a moment when you are already busy. The fix is to attach it to something you never forget.

The routine

1. Fill a glass before you do anything else — the night before, if mornings are chaos.
2. Drink it while the kettle or coffee machine runs. No extra time spent.
3. Add your drops to a second glass and keep it on the desk.
4. Refill at each meal. Four refills is a reasonable day for most people.

That is the whole thing. It works because it never asks you to find a new gap in your morning — it borrows one you already have.
