It's really hard to be over hydrated. My urine is almost always clear because I always have water handy and drink it whenever I feel like it, which is frequently. I'm not over hydrated. Sure, 3 liters is a bit excessive, but ideally your urine will be clear, unless you're doing things like drinking a bunch of soda or things that will darken your urine because your kidneys are filtering things out.

Just have water easily accessible and drink it whenever you have the desire and you'll probably be good.

While true "hyper hydration" is indeed pretty difficult to get to if your urine is always clear you could probably stand to take in a bit less water throughout the day, and make sure you're taking in enough salts to keep your electrolyte levels balanced.

Maybe I could drink less. I only drink when I want to though. It's not like I'm over-hydrating, just I naturally want to drink a good amount of water. I add extra salts if I feel the need, which I think my body does a pretty good job of making me crave when I'm low. I just listen to what my body wants and I seem to be pretty healthy for it.
