...well, actually it's time to sort some vitamins. Got a little behind on sorting, or a day off, or something.  Anyway, need to get back on a Sunday schedule so I don't feel so rushed. I sort them a week at a time some folks sort a month's worth. Believe it or not, some 6 months!  What's your sorting routine and why?

I sort mine weekly unless I am traveling. I have a 7-day pill box which helps with my routine. I have a morning box, a during-the-day box, and an evening box. I'm almost OCD about them, but, hey, it works for me.

The donuts caught my eye, Gina. LOL. The free donuts at church caught my eye yesterday but I resisted.

The beginning of January I changed from doing my vits monthly to weekly. I was waiting for all my lab results in case I needed to tweak something. So far it's working ok. Thats what I used to do with all my prescription meds pre-op.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I do mine weekly (usually 8 days cause I stick the final dose of the day in a bottle cap) and still fill up all seven days. Dh does his monthly and while it can be easier...it can take a huge amount of time. Esp if you run out of one about halfway thru and can't fill the rest of the month. Trying to remember where you stopped is real fun and games, NOT!!!

I'm still tweaking my D as it went back up from 131 to 147 on my one/two/one/two routine. But just one a day is NOT enough...I was in the 30's then, So I am doing 1,1,1,2,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,2, etc.

We need to order some but with paydays only 2 times a month and all of it retirememt, it gets interesting around here. Can't do a huge order this time, just focusing on what we have to have from Vitalady, the others we will pick up locally. (multi, Vit c, etc)

i do mine weekly.  My box has am and pm and big compartments so it holds even the big calcuim and big multi chewable.  The noon calcuim is next to the computer and taking too much is more of an issue than too little (chocolate chews, yummmm).  Works for me.

 I have a very small bowl in the kitchen.  I fill it every morning.  I know it needs to be empty at the end of the day.  When I was at work, I filled the bowl on my desk.

When I go on vacation, I fill a Baggie for each day and put it in my purse.  I reuse the baggies so that I don't waste them.

I got my Vitalady order at then end of last week so now I'm set for the next 6 months....YEAH!!  I've been out of the Citrate chews for awhile so I need to get into a routine again. I know I'm bad Gina! 

I have two 1 week containers.  I have to do my Mom's pills too so I try to fill mine up when I do hers.

Hi Gina,
I do mine weekly either on Saturday or Sunday.  Except my calcium chews, I do them every morning.  I used to have a bunch of the small baggies and I would fix them up for a couple of weeks and just grab one every morning.  I need to start doing that again, but I forgot them a couple of days last week and had to go back home.

I just started a schedule that Kelly hooked me up with.  I have to take calcium 3 times a day at work so I brought a bottle to work with me.  I carry around a little pill case in my pocket so I won't forget.  I take my other vitamins in the morning and the evening with my other meds.  I put those in a weekly pill container.  I'm glad to hear these other ideas.  It really helps.
