What is your strategy for remembering vitamins?

throughout the day? I have a very hard time remembering to get my vitamins in spread out through the day. I have 5 kids and am a freelance photographer. I am on the run a lot. It seems that I can never remember to get all of the vitamins in throughout a day as needed and consequently, I can feel my energy level dropping steadily. I am also not losing weight as quickly as I had hoped.

As soon as I get up in the morning I take my multi and calcium chews

2 hrs later I eat 2 more calcium chews

after lunch I take my iron

2 hrs later I do my B12

after dinner I do my multi and calcium chews

 

I know I have to take them so it's just habit now

I got myself a little "pill box" and I put some calcium and multivitamins in it...then I set reminders in my phone for the times I am supposed to take them.  If I am not at home and my reminder goes off, then I reach in my purse and get whatever vitamin I am supposed to take at that time.  If I am home, then i go get them out of the box.  I also keep a bottle of calcium in my desk drawer at work!  You'll get there!  It took me a while to get into the routine!

I have a little keychain pill box that I keep with me all day. Its on the keyring with my car keys and house keys. I got it for $1.99 at the Vitamin Shoppe.

I pair them with meals.  My first set of vitamins I take with breakfast, then I have some Upcal D in my protein shake, then my next set of vitamins with dinner, then the last set with my bedtime snack.  I don't forget to eat, so I don't forget my vitamins if they go wtih meals.

I have my cell phone set to go off each time I need to take my supplements. I also keep my pills in a weekly pill box, if I'm out shopping I have a little pill box I can carry a few of them in.

As soon as i get up i take 3 multivitamins all at once.  i keep water and pills on my night stand. i take d3, b1, and b12 before lunch. 

i take my calcium chews anytime throughout the day at least (2 chews) 2 hrs apart. i lay 6 out and when they are gone i am done.

I am 2 months post and also having a hard time remembering my pills and vitamins. I also have a weekly pill box with morning, afternoon and evening, and each days section can be removed to take with me if needed. but the best thing I have to help me is an app I have on my phone, Pill reminder, I set the time and the pill I have to take and it goes off when its time to take my meds. I love it.

 I take mine with meals and then iron and C at bedtime - I do really well during the week but the weekends are harder to remember the middle of the day set.

I'm going back a read all the replies for ideas but I keep my vitamins on my bedside table and take one in morning and one at bedtime. Calcium as snacks, Iron in the middle of the day.  It seems to work.
