adhd got me forgetting to drink water

I used to lug around my FULL days worth of water bc I’d forget water bottles and carrying something heavier reminded me. It helped significantly but I’d still find myself forgetting I was even CARRYING something while actively walking around with 100oz of h20. LoL. The best thing would likely be to carry around a sufficient amount at all times and set timers, keep a log and possibly have someone keep track of you to make sure you’re doing it. It’s a lot of stupid steps but I have the same problem as you and once my vision went black bc of it! I hate the taste of water. I’m forgetful. It’s dumb. Also, I find drinking games help. Exercising makes you drink more and if all else fails get a camel back pack water thing bikers use and set a timer. Also shot glasses help because it’s easier to drink a little bit more often than a full cup once, at least for me.
