Seeing plastic bottles pile up at work changed my mind.

I carry a reusable one now, and it's just habit.

How did you get yourself to remember it every day? I started leaving mine right by my keys so I can't leave without it. Works like a charm.

Worry that trick would fail me if I was rushing. What makes it stick for you, @anna_flores96, when your mind is elsewhere?

What if you tied it to another daily task, like making coffee? I put my bottle next to the kettle so I see it when I brew my morning cup. Sometimes I even fill it right then so it's ready to go. If that fails, leaving it in my car's cup holder means it's always there for the drive. After a few weeks, it just becomes part of the routine, like putting on pants.
