    I have an announcement play every 30 minutes to yell at me in a harsh voice “Drink Water God Damn It!” I forget to hydrate a lot. I’ve tried many other reminders, but none of them worked well. Turns out I just need someone to yell at me.

      I started drinking more water when I got a sport bottle with one of them built-in sipping straws. It’s just near me most of the time, so I take some sips just to occupy myself for a few seconds.

      Previously I drank a lot of tea, wherein the sign that I need to get more tea was when the cup was empty. But I’m off caffeine now.

      My son also has ADHD and my wife and I are that voice for him. I’m not sure where he gets it from. On an unrelated note, the days where I forget to eat are my most productive, so it’s a good thing you don’t need an 'eat God damn it" reminder.
