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.
Something that worked for me was to fill it when I think about it rather than at the end of the week when it’s empty, now I never seem to forget it outside of some bad weeks.
I don’t! I also have a task reminder, and I sometimes still forget. I finally got every day one week in December. Then, 5 weeks later, I missed every day. It sucks!
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.
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
I think that was my ADHD latching onto my joke lol
Having to look in the fridge when searching for my phone is one of the things that is never not funny to my friends

I keep a bottle of Irn Bru or something else too revolting to forget washing the pills down with next to the pills.
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.

… But now I have to remember to close them all at the end of the week 😰

Must … Pop … All of them
On Sundays, I close them all. I also have a calendar task and still forget, it’s just better than without one or the other.
