One day you wake up and you’re in your 30s and there’s a mix of prescriptions and supplements and vitamins you’re meant to take daily. Some of them are for the morning and others are for the evening. By lunch it’s like, did I take them this morning? I think I did but maybe that was yesterday. Same thing happens as you go to bed.
Now I just ask my pill organizer, and it answers by either being empty or not in the relevant space. Tuesday morning? Check. Friday evening? Still there, try again next week. Can’t recommend it enough.

My pill organizer (simple white plastic with blue sans-serif lettering for the days of the week: SMTWTFS) was a gift from my boyfriend. I used to have to announce whenever I took my vitamins (“HERE I AM TAKING MY VITAMINS!”) so that someone else in the house could corroborate that I'd done it. Now I rely only on the case. I love collecting the pills from their compartment in the morning—I imagine this is what it feels like to collect eggs from a chicken coop–and I love refiling them all when the week is up. Each of the little closures has a satisfying snap. As an aside, I once heard that not all countries consider Sunday the first day of the week. I wonder if their pill cases say MTWTFSS instead.

you will never catch me opening up a bunch of different bottles and trying to remember what i take when. instead, once a week, i organize all my little pills into a little container with the days of the week on it and then it takes zero mental effort. my grandma and i have the same one

i always thought these were only for older people, maybe that is ageist. i now think they are necessary for everyone, we are all taking medication everyday anyways.

I’ve done this every time I’ve found myself between full time jobs and it really makes the whole time better. You have a little money coming in and you can collect material for your future memoir. Some odd jobs from my past:
Axe throwing coach
Closet designer
Lunch catering delivery
Balloon bouquet maker
Background extra
i found them on big job boards like indeed and also Craigslist (Searching “part time” gets you less garbage results). If you hate it after you start you can just quit!
Also if you like pets, signing up for dog walking or petsitting will keep you active and you get to hang out with pets.

I love doing this, it’s wonderfully disorienting. Theres still so much day left afterwards it’s basically a whole new day, like an optical illusion, but of time.
