I had come across a life and productivity hack multiple times that suggested to drink a glass of water first thing in the morning.
The thinking behind it is you’ve just gone through several hours without drinking anything, so your body could use it.
I decided to try it, having a cold glass of tap water, instead of the thing I did usually in the morning – a cup of coffee.
I found the results pretty surprising. I found that after having the glass of water, I was feeling alert and more awake, as much as having the coffee did.
The water alone made me feel better.
I ended up not having coffee at all in the mornings, instead leaving it till later in the day when I could feel myself start to slump.
I’ve been doing this a couple of months now and feel the glass of water habit is strongly ingrained in my morning routine now. Some days I have no coffee at all.
I write for my blog of things I’ve actually done, real stories I can share. This definitely qualifies.
