[FIXED] Using schedule module to reming me to drink water every ten seconds

Issue

I am using schedule module to remind me to drink water every ten seconds

import schedule


def remindDrink():
    print("Drink Water")
while True:
    schedule.every().day.at("16:35").do(remindDrink())

So the problem here is that the task gets executed, but immedieately, not at the given time, and VSCode throws a weird error at me

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "e:\Code\Python Code\randomModule.py", line 12, in <module>
    schedule.every().day.at("16:31").do(sendNotification())
  File "C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\schedule\__init__.py", line 625, in do
    self.job_func = functools.partial(job_func, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: the first argument must be callable
PS E:\Code\Python Code> 

This is the error, what am I doing wrong?

Solution

Same module different approach, I personally prefer this approach because it keeps my work clean, easy to read and to understand at your first glance and ofcourse easy to refactor.

from schedule import every, repeat, run_pending
import time

@repeat(every().day.at("16:35"))
def remindDrink():
    print("Drink Water")

while True:
    run_pending()
    time.sleep(1)
