How I did it: I made sure I had a water bottle pouch on my backpack for this schoolyear. Then, I made sure I always had at least one clean water bottle to use. All I had to do after that was make sure it was filled for the day, and to refill it whenever I had a chance.

Lessons & tips: This is one of those things you just need to get into the habit of doing. If you get into the habit of carrying a water bottle and making sure to refill it, it should come pretty naturally. Or, drinking at certain times could help (I find myself drinking more while at my job, and it got me drinking water at other times.)

Resources: Water bottles, of course. They can be bought cheaply just about anywhere. I started off with an extremely cheap, no-name 20 oz water bottle from Walmart and just now bought a Rubbermaid 32 oz water bottle from CVS.
