what's the best way that you stay motivated with all of the daily tasks needed to keep up with POTS? I struggle greatly keeping up with all the electrolytes I'm supposed to drink and all the exercise I'm supposed to do.

I do tasks by the hour. Like every even hour I drink water and every odd hour I take salt until like 2pm. I also have a loose hourly schedule.

I love LiquidIV because the flavors don't feel like I'm drinking a medicine type drink, but it works very quickly and effectively. I also find it easiest to drink from a large cup (32oz metal one) with a straw- I'm not sure why but I definitely drink more that way than drinking from disposable water bottles or cups without straws. I also like to set small goals, like "ill drink a whole drink before this movie is over" or "im going to have a full drink while having lunch". Small manageable goals like that are much easier to keep up with having one big goal like "im going to drink 10 water bottles today"
Personally, I get alarms for when to drink a few oz of vitamin water and it helps me stay on top of it! I don't exercise much though due of some other disabilities I have
