Glad to sort only once every 14 days!
I am horrible about remembering to take vitamins daily. I have been trying to find ways to help me remember, so that I can do much better this year than last. I’ve experimented with a variety of pill containers. The thing that attracted me to this particular container is that it allows you to sort out two weeks’ worth of pills at one time. This was a big plus for me, as one of the reasons I tend to “fall off” is having to re-sort the pills every 7 days. This may not be much of a task for some people, but my schedule as a working mom of a Kindergartener makes even that simple task a monumental one. I got the opportunity to purchase this pill container at a discount in exchange for my honest review, and I wanted to see if sorting pills for 2 weeks at a time would help me stay on point with my vitamins.<br /><br />Yes, it takes twice as long to fill the container but that is because you are sorting twice as many days’ worth of pills. For me – THIS WAS WORTH IT! I was able to sort 14 days of pills, keep the container in my top desk drawer at work, and I remembered every single day to take them. This was primarily because that is the first drawer I open when I sit down at work in the morning, to pull out my glasses. The fact that I was not required to fill the container at the 7 day mark was tremendously helpful. I wound up replenishing week one at the 10 day mark, with no pressure. And this is why I saw success – because it was not a show stopper to fill the container at that point, I still had 4 days worth of pills sorted and ready to go.<br /><br />The only con I noted was that the compartments are not as deep as other containers I have used. This is okay for now because I am not taking too many large pills at the moment. Once I add another fish oil pill to the mix, the compartments will be full.<br /><br />This container is valuable to anyone who has lots of medication sorting to do; someone who does not have a time to sort one a week; someone who needs to remember if they took their medication for the day; or someone who is just lazy about this sort of thing. Being able to sort two weeks’ worth of pills at one time is helping me stay on course with my vitamins so far, and I am on my way to a much better vitamin-filled year.
