I sort and package my meds and supplements in advance. I use zip lock snack baggies. When I start breakfast, I pull a bag out of the cabinet and leave it in view on the counter. I take it after eating my breakfast but since it is on the counter, I am less prone to forget. At least I can take them later when I notice them on the counter.

Research has shown that using electronic aids like iPads and smart phones are successful ways to help memory limited people function better. I know someone who has severe word-finding struggles who uses his iPad to speak common sentences for times when he is under stress and needs to explain himself. He has buttons to touch on his iPad that say such things as : "I have a brain injury and have difficulties speaking. " "I am not drunk, my stagger is due to a brain injury" "I can fully understand what you say if you do not speak too fast"

His iPad also reminds him of appointments and other time oriented needs.
