I keep forgetting to take my meds this week.
they say to get one of those daily pill calendar things, but thats too much work to fill all the time.
There are Sundays where the thought of having to spend 5 minutes filling up my pills for the week kept me in bed for hours.
I feel this so deeply. Friend or neighbor needs my help for hours? No problem. Work a crazy long day? No problem. Vacuum for fifteen minutes? Practically impossible.
This is part of why I have a robot vacuum. Press a button on my phone, done.
Then it eats the socks that my kids didn't pick up like I asked...
Yeah I have four cats and two of them are long haired. It's too much for the roomba I tried.
Fair.
If I’m being good I do it Saturday night, after I take the last dose and empty it. But I’m rarely being good.
I've got two, so I have a whole week of time to keep forgetting to refill it.
I have one but if it’s not physically in front of me I just don’t think of it.
Fill each one with three or four pills! You're not going to accidentally take all three, but it'll still keep track of whether you've taken it or not.
Or get the box that's sun - sat morning, afternoon, evening boxes, then it's three weeks at a time.
I just got a little tab that hangs off and it has 7 poppers on it, and you pop in the day of the week when you take it. No refilling
