Bullet Journal Water Tracker Inspirations + Free Printable
Trackers are some of my favorite Bullet Journal page ideas, and in this post, we’ll discuss water tracking and how it can help you stay hydrated and healthy.
Water tracking is a simple yet powerful way to monitor your hydration habits and ensure you’re meeting your daily water intake goals. Staying hydrated impacts energy levels, skin health, and overall well-being, so having a dedicated tracker in your Bullet Journal can be a game changer.
You’ll also find some amazing Bullet Journal water tracker inspirations here, ranging from minimalist designs to fun, colorful layouts. The beauty of using a Bullet Journal is how easily it can be customized to reflect your personal goals and style.

And to make things even easier, I’ve included a free printable water tracker that you can use right away. It’s a convenient way to kickstart your water tracking without worrying about drawing your own layout.
I’ve always found drinking enough water a difficult task, and honestly, I know I’m not alone in this struggle. It sounds so simple—just drink more water, right? But life gets busy, and remembering to stay hydrated can easily slip through the cracks.
Believe me, I’ve tried all kinds of tricks to fix this. From fancy water bottles to apps that buzz every hour, I’ve done my homework to find what works.
Drinking water may seem like just another checkbox on your to-do list, but it’s a habit that can drastically improve your health and well-being. Staying hydrated can lead to clearer thinking, glowing skin, better digestion, and even boosted energy levels.
Yet, despite all these benefits, so many of us find it hard to drink enough water. Why? Well, it could be because we forget, don’t feel thirsty, or just find plain water too boring. Trust me, I’ve been there.
If you’re struggling to get those daily sips in, or even if you just want an easy way to track your intake, you’re in the right place.
The good news is, there are plenty of simple strategies to help.
And because I know how tricky it can be to stay on top of this, I’ve created a little free printable just for you! It’ll help you track your water intake each day in a super easy and fun way.
One of the great things about tracking is how motivating it can be—you get to see your progress right there on paper. Plus, sharing these kinds of tools and tips with friends and family can be inspiring. There’s nothing better than seeing others get excited about improving their habits, too.
So, if you’re ready to tackle the hydration challenge and make drinking water the easiest part of your day, don’t forget to scroll to the bottom and grab your free printable. Start small, stay consistent, and celebrate every drop—it all adds up!
Why Is Drinking Water Important
Our bodies are 60% water, so staying hydrated has a hugely positive effect on your health.
You might be surprised by some of these benefits because I surely was.
It seemed to me there was not much connection there, but apparently, there is.
I always find that it’s easier to set a new habit when you know how exactly it improves you and your life, so here are some perks you get from staying hydrated:
- You generally will be healthier
- You’ll be more focused and have a clearer mind
- You’ll have better and shinier skin (this one, in particular, gave me motivation)
- Your digestive system will work smoother
- It’ll help you to get rid of headaches
I bet just these few are enough to make you want to go and drink that extra glass of water!
How Much Water Should You Drink
I’m no medical professional, so don’t take this as the golden standard for yourself. Hydration isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of deal—it’s actually more personal than most people realize. Many factors come into play when figuring out how much water you need, like your age, weight, activity level, and even where you live.
For example, if you’re super active or live in a hot, humid climate, your body will need more water to keep up with the extra sweating and exertion. On the other hand, if you’re mostly sedentary or in a cooler environment, your needs might be a bit lower.
Diet can also make a difference—those who eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables (which have a high water content) may not need as much additional water as someone who relies on more processed foods. Health conditions are another major factor to consider; illnesses, medications, and conditions like pregnancy or breastfeeding can all increase hydration needs.
Remember that hydration is key for so many aspects of your health—everything from energy levels and digestion to healthy skin and mental clarity. If you’re unsure about how much water is right for you, that’s okay! It’s always a good idea to talk to a healthcare professional, especially if you have specific health concerns that might affect your hydration needs. They can help you figure out a personalized plan that works for you.
The general “8 cups a day” rule is a great starting point, but think of it as a flexible guideline rather than a strict rule. Everyone is different, and by staying mindful of what your body is telling you, you’ll start to get a feel for what works best!
Tips To Drink More Water
Somehow drinking enough water is not always easy, even if you understand the value and try to stay hydrated.
Here are some tips and techniques that will help you stay on track with your water consumption:
- Infuse water
I find that often I feel like soda instead of water because water has no flavor and is a pretty dull drink. Try to infuse your water with lemon, cucumber, and mint. It will still be water, but with more fun to it.
- Have a glass before and/or after a meal
Meals are something we forget less often, so why not connect your water-drinking habits with food? That alone should give you around six glasses of water already easily scheduled in your day.
- Carry a water bottle with you
Try filling out a bottle with all the water you need to drink during the day and just carrying it with you, finishing it throughout the day. These will help you stay motivated and come in many cute designs.
- Use a water tracker
Of course, your Bullet Journal is there to help you – just use a water tracker. You can add one to your week, use a daily one (like these stickers I add to my weeklies), or create a monthly water tracking spread (like our free printable).
- Use a water-tracking app
For those more digitally inclined, having an app might be a better way to stay on track with hydration. I still think that doing things on paper has a bigger commitment and effect, but you choose what works for you the best!
Bullet Journal Water Tracker Inspirations
Of course, as a Bullet Journal enthusiast, I had to include here some trackers you can create in your journal.
The idea of a water tracker is very basic, but I wanted to demonstrate how many interesting and creative ways there are to add them to your BuJo.
This is a pretty easy graph to track your water consumption. I like that the author also wrote the exact number of cups drunk next to each line.
I like this tracker, but I definitely thought from first sight that it was a yearly tracker. The illustration is also very cute and on the theme.
This is a super cute tracker, and I love the beautiful and bright colors. Also, can we take a minute and stare in amazement at how much water the artist drinks! I’m in awe.
If having a monthly tracker might be too overwhelming for you, you can always start smaller with a weekly tracker, as you can see on this layout.
It’s pretty convenient since you have it in front of you every day when you open your journal to plan the day.
I really like the idea for this tracker, how each cup is an extra line toward the rain.
This is also another example of a weekly water tracker, in case you want to go very creative and for it to occupy the entire page.
This match of trackers is perfect; it gives such an amazing outlook on your current body and mind situation. All these habits are very interconnected, so it’s fantastic that she put them all together like this.
Plus, it looks super neat and very pretty.
We already saw a weekly tracker you can add to your weekly layouts, but here is another take - try using mini trackers for each day instead of one bigger weekly layout.
To track water on this weekly spread, I’m using printable stickers from my shop.
Your water tracker doesn't have to be created with a water theme in mind. You can absolutely use any kind of theme you have in your Bulelt Journla at the moment.
Here is a very good example of this approach, where the creator chose the current Fall theme to apply to the water tracker as well.
This is a really cute monthly water tracker, and the creator decided to aim for 9 cups of water a day. I like the adorable illustrations here and how they are a mix of the water theme and the current monthly theme the creator has that month.
Another example of the water tracker is in a weekly spread.
Those little bottles between the daily boxes are actually to track water consumption, and I see that she actually did pretty well with her water that week.
An interesting way to add some fun to your water tracker – is by making the glasses in the shape of cocktail glasses.
I’m also loving the quote; I never thought about it that way but isn’t it kind of true?
Very simple but effective water tracker. I like how it’s all so well divided by weeks. I also really like that the header for this page is almost like a half-filled glass of water.
But I'll be honesrt, creating all these grids seems liek way too much worjk for me, a person who kind of hates using ruler on her pages.
A great tracker in beautiful pastel colors, and I love how it’s general hydration, not just water. So you can see, when you gave up on water, what was your drink of choice?
It’s also an excellent example that you can definitely use a lined notebook as a Bullet Journal.
