First, I organize all my pills into 8 weekly pill containers (I do 4 weeks of pills at a time). I go through my medication list and make my way down the list making sure all the pill are added into the right spots. I put my "AM" Medication & my "Mid Day" medication in the same container, and my "Bedtime" medication in it's own. I keep my "AM & Mid Day Meds" in my purse, since I work full-time out of my home (and since I leave my house at 7am, I eat at work). Once I've gotten some food into me, I take my AM pills, and leave the 2 Mid Day pills in the container to take before I leave work. So, their is no need for 2 separate containers.
Then, my "bedtime" (PM) pills are taken with my nightly routine.
It's pretty simple how I do it. I've found having my medicine in pill boxes/containers is the only way to go, for me. If I don't have them ready to go, they don't get taken.
You don't have to do it my way to use the Mini (of course), just mark off once you've taken all your pills!!
Let me know if it works for you or if you've found a better way! I love hearing other ways of remembering to take your medicine. And I'm always up for changeing things around to improve the Mini for others.
Note: No my pill boxes don't match....but it still does the trick! I laugh because, I'm a little ocd about them, but I keep reminding myself, it doesn't matter. (I also have an obsession with pill boxes and think I've tried just about every kind....do any of you have the same love relationship with them?)
