Total targetโ€”

This total includes all fluids, not just plain water โ€” around 20% of daily water typically comes from food. Coffee and tea count too. Listen to your thirst and check that your urine is pale straw-colored.

Start the day with a glass

Drinking water when you wake up rehydrates you after sleep and helps you hit your target without noticing.

Keep a bottle in sight

A refillable bottle on your desk is a constant nudge. Sip steadily rather than gulping large amounts at once.

Estimate only โ€” not medical advice. Individual needs vary with health conditions, medications, pregnancy and altitude. If you have kidney, heart or fluid-restriction concerns, follow your doctor's guidance.
