The Two Bands method






A drink every hour. Every hour on the hour, from 7am to 10pm, drink a cup of something. It can be your coffee/tee in the morning. Or a cup of vitamin powder with water which is what I do in the morning. It can be a glass of juice after lunch. Every cup counts.

You just need to know the time of your last cup. Suppose it's 11:15am and you don't remember if you had your 11am drink. The Two Bands method will help you remember.

Get two rubber bands. I like to wear them on my watch. You can wear them on your wrist. It can be a hair band, a money band, a scrunchie, anything you like.


  • Start of day: move two bands up on your wrist or watch.
  • 7am drink: move one band down
  • 8am drink: move the second band down
  • 9am drink: move both bands up again
  • 10am drink: move one band down again
  • 11am drink: move the second band down again. I hope you get the idea.
It's 10:30am and I forgot if I had my 10am drink. No problem. Just look at your bands: 
  • Two bands up? Have a drink and move one band down.
  • One band down? No need to drink at 10:30am.
So wake up at 7, have your first cup of water, and move one band down. Easy!

What if I wake up at 8am? Just drink 2 cups and shift both bands down. Easy!

The math behind the Two Bands method. Every three hours, both bands are up. That's 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm are the times when both bands are up.
