    I consistently hear inconsistent recommendations for how much water I should drink. I try to just drink when I’m thirsty, and that tends to work.

      I need to keep a filled glass on my desk for that to work. Being focused on a task tends to keep me from going to fetch a drink when I’m thirsty, but “refill glass when empty” is a thing my brain seems to be able to do.

        Keeping a water bottle that I drink exclusively from near me at all times definitely helps with this

        That is the entire idea behind the whole “keep a 25 Gallon Stanley cup around at all times” craze.

        Side Note: Every brand except Stanley uses Glass insulation instead of Lead so can save yourself some brain damage, and buy literally any other brand.

      That’s a great baseline my dude. I do this personally and drink half to 3/4ths of a gallon a day. More if It’s hot and/or I’ve been doing more physical stuff.
