Bobbie, my favorite testimonial to the effectiveness of the Squatty Potty is @cahnny's serious but fun post here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/106972/

I'm also guilty of not drinking enough and I really pay for it when I don't. I found tracking my water intake on an app to be tedious, but it showed me how little I was drinking. Now I use a different method. I have a pitcher of water and make sure it is empty by day's end. What do you do to remind yourself to drink more water?
