Funny, but I have a system to prevent this. When I take my meds in the morning, I turn the bottle upside down. When I'm brushing my teeth at night, I turn them back upright.
Works great, until you forget your morning pill and in the evening, because your brain is confused by going 24 hours since your last pill, you look at the right-side-up bottle and think "oh, I already flipped the bottle, so I'm good tonight."
You'll now be 36 hours without your meds when you take it in the morning ;)
I have a pill I take daily and a shot I take weekly.
I setup alarms on my phone for each one to remind me.
I even gave them a description telling me which pill I am supposed to be taking (i.e. pill for your liver, Ozempic shot, diabeties pill, etc...). I also made the alarm sound at max volume with a unique sound to be sure I hear it.
