Anyone here struggle with drinking enough water every day? Growing up, I drank a lot of soda and fruit juices but since 2020, I’ve been trying to be one of those people who always has a water bottle. They say you drink some when you first wake up but I never have a taste for it and then never remember to start drinking until about noon.

Perrier has been helpful. I find it stimulating and grab it when I'm fidgety and distracted or about to settle into a tedious work task. There are flavored versions with no sugar.

Also keep a hydroflask or other large container of water on or near your desk to avoid the "out of sight - out of mind" problem.

I thought I was the only one. All my stuff expires because my wife puts everything out of sight because it bothers her OCD, but then due to me not seeing it, I won’t be using it and 6 months after when we do a full cleaning she complains why it expired I’m like well, blame your OCD. She’s working on controlling her urges tho 🤣🤣

I literally spent years drinking just Diet Coke every single day, I still do to this day but I drink less now, Doctor told me not to 😳

Yes. I was never a soda person but I do love lemonades/rootbeer/sparkling water. Drinking water in the morning is really hard for me too so I have tea instead. Caffeine-free and no sugar, it's just herbs. For some reason my brain is ok with this and not water.

Keep water bottle bedside? This makes it easy, but I live in a dry climate and get thirsty at night

I second flavored water. A few drops of mio helps

I sooooo struggle with this. I would highly suggest getting a cup with a straw. It is scientifically proven that you drink more water when you have a cup with a straw. And I can also personally attest to this, it really does work. I recommend getting a 40 ounce stanley cup.

This really does work! I have the Stanley as well an if I have it with me, I dirnk all the water in it.

I have always struggled with this. SOmething that works for me is filling up my 40 ounce stanley cup and taking it everywhere with me. If I take it with me, then for whatever reason I do end up drinking it.

I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

How do you approach projects when your boss plays the "guess what's in my head" game?
