I could never remember if I took my pills, so I bought one of those weekly pill organizers. I used it for a few weeks…But now I don’t feel like filling it up each week, so I just take them in the morning when I go to the bathroom… Then later on in the afternoon I wonder if I have taken my pills because I was on autopilot in the morning.
I bought a replacement pill bottle with a digital timer in the lid that resets when you open it so you can always see how long it’s been since you last took it- it’s been a huge help and managing my medication. It’s called the BudCapTimer or TimerCap. Here’s a link - https://a.co/d/iZJilMh
Mate I’ve forgotten the concept of eating food, I’ve misplaced my phone that I was holding 30 seconds ago, I’ve not been able to recall every card in any of my magic the gathering decks from memory ever since I started playing about 10 years ago.
I’ve forgotten what I was talking about mid sentence because I had to get a sip of water. You can forget about anything with ADHD, just different people remember things differently. I can recall my partner’s favorite colors and hobbies, I can barely recall my own favorite media I saw.

Don’t bother filling it. Close it at the end, and pop open the lid for each day. I keep my pills in the bottle.
… But now I have to remember to close them all at the end of the week 😰
What about those fidget popping things? Label each with a day press in the day when you take a pill. Then just flip it over when the week starts over.
Must … Pop … All of them
Yes but how do you remember to do that every day?
How do you not forget that you even have the organiser?

I think you missed the “not” in my comment
