How much water are you drinking??
How do you make sure you get it all done in a day?

I drink as much water as I'm thirsty for. There is nothing to "get done" because I'm drinking the amount that I want to drink.
Don't forget that a big proportion of many foods is water and that is going towards meeting your overall hydration needs too. The idea that there is a set amount of water that everyone needs to drink is a myth.0 -
I drink plenty (as proved by my urine) though the daily amount varies with my needs. I get it in by drinking it.0

I have 2 cups of coffee, 2-3 cans of LaCroix and perhaps one glass of tap water throughout the day. This is enough to keep my hydrated but not overhydrated. Basically I drink when I am thirsty and sip throughout the day. Not sure why there are so many formulas on how much water people should drink. I wish I could find it, but I actually recently read an article about how water is not the magic elixir that cures all ailments as it is constantly touted to be, and that you should drink when thirsty and generally with meals, but that so long as you don't have dark yellow smelly pee, you probably don't need to worry about whether you are getting enough water.2

No arbitrary amount...I just like to stay in 1-3. The amount of water necessary to do that is variable depending on what I'm doing exercise wise, seasons, etc...
I'd say that I drink more than the formula in the OP...I live in the desert at about a mile high above sea level so it's easier to get dehydrated...plus I'm pretty active.1 -
If I'm thirsty, I drink. Sometimes that can be a glass of water, sometimes it can be a half gallon. I don't really worry about it.0

I drink a gallon a day. I fill my gallon jug in the morning and keep it on my desk at work.0

I drink when I'm thirsty or my job allows (I have to limit my liquid intake since I can't freely take potty breaks). But minumum, I'd like to hit 40 oz, which is close to 3/4 of what I probably should be drinking.0

I very rarely get thirsty so usually go by the urine colour too. I'm usually around 3 or 4 in the colour chart so I think I drink enough most days.0
