So many conferences are a collection of unrelated sessions. Here's how PCMA connected the dots at the June 2015 Education Conference.

Crowdsource: Hydration Motivation: Spite Edition

Ok gang, I was searching for stickers or magnets or something as little reminders to drink more water, and honestly the most successful motivator for me is spite or at least something that actually feels like A Real, Specific Goal than just "be hydrated because it's good for you" (although that should be enough).

So far the one I like best says, "Drink more water. Outlive your enemies." And that's not bad…

I don't run(!) but if I did I would buy the tank top that says, "I run so I can keep up with The Doctor" (this one says "work out" (well, it says "workout" but it should say work out as the verb not the noun…) but you get the idea).

So… if we could collectively brainstorm (like when Martha got the world to think DOCTOR all at once to un-creepy-old-age him)… anybody got any "slogans" that are maybe not quite reverse psychology but like, contrarian and perverse (see 2b or 3) or just petty and spiteful and revenge-ful…

Or something that's like, I'm doing this really bland thing to give myself a Fun, Cool Superpower. Or to 'imitate' a really badass person.

I'd be ever so grateful for your ideas!!!

(Not really looking for "tips HOW to drink more water" - just little mottos I can stick in various places to remind myself why it's "important" (to me!))

We are going to London for a few days with the husband and 17 year old.
Do any of you have a recommendation for accommodation that is, well, affordable (I know, it is London) and yet with a soul? And a window.
