Why I quit tracking my water intake and just fill one big jug in the morning
Everyone in this community keeps posting about water tracking apps and setting hourly reminders, but I did that for 3 months and it just made me stressed about something my body already handles. Last Tuesday I filled a 40 ounce Nalgene on my desk at work, told myself to finish it by lunch and fill it once more by 4pm, and I haven't thought about water since. The app gave me 12 reminders a day and I ignored 10 of them anyway. Why do we act like adding more alerts makes a habit stick better than just making the thing easy to see?

Did you read that study showing reminders actually make people tune out instead of drink more?
