1-2-3 Get It Done: The 60 Second Hydration Fix Nobody Uses (But Everyone Should)
sent by Joaquín Kosegarten | December 23, 2025
Every second counts, so let’s get right to it. 1 idea, 2 ways it saves you time, and 3 steps to Get It Done:
1 Idea
Start every morning by drinking one full glass of water before you do anything else.
2 Ways it saves you time
1. Your brain runs faster when it is hydrated. Even light dehydration can lower focus reaction time and memory. A single glass of water lifts you out of that slow state before it impacts your morning.
2. It prevents the silent energy dip around mid morning. Most people mistake mild dehydration for fatigue which leads to slow starts and extra caffeine. One glass first thing keeps your energy steady
3 Steps to Get It Done:
1. Put a glass of water on your bedside table before you sleep so it is ready as soon as you wake up.
2. Drink the full glass the moment you stand up. No thinking. No delaying.
3. Refill the glass right away so it becomes part of your nightly routine and never gets skipped.
Conclusion
Better hydration equals better focus. Give yourself this sixty second advantage and watch the rest of your day move faster.
“But I’m not thirsty in the morning!”
That is normal. You still wake up dehydrated after seven or eight hours with zero water. The glass simply brings your system back online faster.
As promised — 1 minute that can save you hours

P.S. Fun fact, your brain is actually a tiny bit smaller when you wake up. You lose water overnight and the tissue shrinks just enough for MRI machines to pick it up. One glass of water in the morning helps bring it back to full power.
