    I log them in my diary. When I don't see it logged, I know I haven't taken 'em :wink:

    Unlike most of the posters, I take a vitamin shake every morning (can't swallow pills). It's a lil extra work but I take my two scoops with water before I head out the door. I feel the difference when I forget or don't take them.

    Since I have to take rather a lot of supplements due to malabsorption syndrome thanks to gluten damaging my digestive system, I use a free app called Med Helper on my phone. That way I can schedule what I need to take and when, and the phone will alert me.

    I have a mini fridge so i put it on top. When I lived back home I put it
    on the counter or on food I was going to eat for breakfast. Pack one in your bag or lunch too.

    I bring the bottle with me to work (and it never leaves my bag, except to take a dose).

    LOL, only if the moderators know what "*kitten*" means. Not a common term on our side of the pond.

    Incorporate into your routine. Also it helps to actually like the vitamins- find some that you don't mind the taste of... helps.

    I got the kind that you can take on an empty stomach and I take them before bed, when I brush my teeth.

    I have never found the need to take vitamins as a health balanced diet sorts it for me

    Well, I remembered just now cause I saw this post. I try to take them with my lunch, but it's a hit and miss deal with me.

    I have (2) pill boxes, cause I take more than just a vitamin. I keep one at work, right in front of my monitor (can't miss it) and the other on the microwave (because they were getting too damp in the bathroom). When I fix & breakfast (plus feed kitty) I see them, that box - (microwave) is only for weekends, but if I see it every morning, it drills in my head more.

    As much as you hate cluttering up the counter, if you forget while they are tucked away, you need to put something visible out in the open to remind you to take them. If not the box or bottle, as some others have said, a bright colorful post-it note.
