Drink Where You Sit

Ever notice a bottle on your desk just vanishes? Let’s make staying hydrated effortless.

Why Reminders Fail

Reminders to drink water rarely stick. When the bottle lives where you sit, you don’t need to remember.

At a Glance

It takes about thirty seconds to set up each day. Grab a bottle you like and keep it at your long-hour spot.

Choose Your Spot

Be honest about where you sit most. Choose one or two places, desk, side table, car, or bedside, and put the bottle there.

Old Wisdom

Older homes kept a cool jar of water in the corner, always within arm’s reach while seated.

How Much Water

Fill a one-litre bottle in the morning, finish by mid-afternoon, then refill for the evening. Use urine colour as a guide.

Safety First

If a doctor says limit fluids, follow it. Drinking large amounts quickly can be unsafe, so sip slowly.

Keep It Fresh

Empty and refill daily, wash with hot soapy water and a brush, and choose steel or glass to avoid smells.

What It Won’t Do

More water won’t melt weight, clear skin, or cure headaches with other causes. It’s just a habit.
