Most of my pills are morning, so a consistent location for my pill box plus alarms (particularly on the weekend when I'm more likely to be off schedule) does the trick for me. Bedside pillbox for allergy pills during the time of year (most of it now, annoyingly) that I'm taking an extra at night.

I'm using the iOS reminders for my rotating cast of topicals (I've got one that's daily, one that's 2x/week, another different one that's 2x/week...). I can remember I need a topical as part of my bedtime routine but not which ones, so the reminders show me WTF I'm supposed to be using, because I can't put goo in a pill box.
