An old dog like me struggles to learn new tricks, but I gotta tell you... Getting a set of 7 day pill organizers (the package contained 3 containers with 7 compartments in each) has worked nicely. There's a white one, a pink one, and a purple one. I put my morning pills in the pink one, my afternoon pills in the white one, and my night pills in the purple one. It's easy to tell at a glance as to whether or not i need to take these or if I've already taken them.
It's nice having daily supplies metered out in whatever too because it means not having to risk bringing the main bottles containing my entire long term supply everywhere. This way if i lose any its only one weeks worth and not the bulk source
I did something sort of similar except I only took pills once a day when I got it.
I got one of those 4x daily whole month pill case sets, because I’m very very bad at remembering to refill the damned things weekly, and want to do a ton all at once whenever my pills come in. It had an extra without a date on it to fill out the grid (32 total), so that one is used for travel, and was good for 4 days.
Now I’m taking pills twice a day so I use the first two weeks’ cases for morning and the second two weeks for evening and that’s room for 56 days, perfect time to renew the 90-day prescriptions. My travel case is now packed for 2 days, but I can just as easily grab the two extra cases to get 4
But if I ever end up needing to expand to more doses a day, and I’m not getting younger so that’s likely at some point, it’s still big enough for a month. Pre-planning, yeah!
