Sort and Fill ONCE a Month (tips on using)
I had been using 4x/day (28 box sorter trays) two of them to sort out my pills for 4 weeks at a time. But my trays were wearing out after several years of use and I decided to give this a try.  I like the small daily “pods” of am/pm.  One thing I really like is I don’t have to fish the tiny pills out of the container, I can just pour them all directly in my mouth, something that’s not really possible with even the weekly sorters.  Having them as individual days also allows you to customize your sorter. Here’s my best tips.<br /><br />Pick a day of the week that you’d like to start on. I like to refill on Sunday night so I start my month with the 1st Monday of the month. (See photo of June 2019 starting on Monday the 3rd.)<br /><br />Label the days of the week along the edge of the white tray.<br /><br />Since the white tray the daily boxes sit in 8 across and only 4 rows, every month but February will leave you with pods that need to go in the 8th slot.  I have them running back up the side with the smiley extras box at the top.  If it’s only a 30 day month I put the 31 upside down before the smiley box. (See photo)<br /><br />Decide on how you want to deal with the daily boxes when you’ve taken that days meds. I have tried 2 ways. The first was to turn the box over so the date no longer showed so I knew my next box was the next one with a date showing.  The method I ended up with was putting the empties in basket I keep all my bottles in. Makes it easier to tell on a pre-coffee morning with no glasses on.<br /><br />I hope this helps you!  My cat apparently thought so too when she decided to lay down in the middle of my shot.  Oh and I’m not missing a box it was out of the frame, probably under the cat.
