Hi,
Water gets boring! I understand that too!
But as the above poster states you get an awful lot of water in natural fruits (increase those)....
I personally, drink gallons of fruit & herbal teas (particularly Camomile - calming/ Peppermint - good for digestion).....
I never wait until I "feel" thirsty to drink. I just drink on & off most of the time - if I focus on something else and swig out of my waterbottle, I know I'm doing what I need to without taking a great interest in doing it! I have a set target in my head of what I need to consume in a day and generally adhere to that.
One thing I do find really important , and can see you are already doing that, is to have a large glass of water after every meal and liquid after I eat anything. I really believe it helps wash things through better during digestion :)
