I use a typical weekly pill organizer, but I've found that I've only been able to start using it if I put stickers of my favorite sanrio character all over it. It was hard to get motivation any other way. That's my only tip!

I guess another thing is, if you struggle with weakness, make sure beforehand that the organizer is easy to open. There's one that I just use as a water color palette nowadays because it was too hard for me to get open in the mornings 🥴

that’s a good idea! i didn’t think of that. I do have weakness in my hand, especially in the mornings.

For me, I pack more than one week at a time. I'm picky about my med packers. Over time you'll know what works or doesn't work for you. I can't do any weird shapes and I prefer the ones with the buttons for easier opening

I have a weekly sorter with three slots per day, because that's how often I take meds. Each day is individual, so its portable. Its brilliant.

It depends on how many meds you are on/how much space you need. I have a 30 day pill organizor, which I love because it means I run out of pre-made pill boxes way slower (lets me be lazy and not refill it every week).

I don't use these anymore but they were so helpful when I did. They are timer caps. A lid for your pill bottle that automatically displays time since last opened. I also have timers on every device reminding me to take my medication.
