I've got a reminder app so I know when and if I should take certain medicines or already have.
I got that too, but then it’s “did I forget to take this, or did I just forget to log it?”
Yes exactly lol! I have my watch set to go off but then I don't remember if I did it or forgot to check off the list!
Thankfully I take two pills per day rn and have a two well pill cutter. So I put a pill on each side. In the morning, there are two pills in the well. I take one pill from one well. In the evening, if I remembered to take the morning one, there is one pill left in the second well.
Then, at night, I fill up both wells so I start over with them full in the morning.
Sometimes I forget if I took the morning pill or the evening pill, but I never forget if I took both pills thankfully.
My goal is to move down to one pill though and that's going to be a lot trickier for me to remember. I don't want to go full old people with a weekly pill box, so I'm going to have to figure something out.
I'm thinking something like starting with two pills (one per well) on even days and starting with one pill on odd days. I'd just have to make sure I'd keep track of the end of the month. Idk.
