I have this issue too. Here’s what has helped: set a reminder on your phone or Alexa device or whatever to take your pills when you need to. If there’s more than one pill, organize them into a pill case before the week starts. If you have a bag that you always take with you, have a spare dose of pills that you can take as soon as possible. If you have a place you go to every day, have a spare dose of pills there.

This is almost exactly what I do too. My Alexa device also reminds me everyday !

Set it beside your plate on the table or wherever you eat breakfast. Chew some food and then put the pill in your mouth and swallow. Taking a drink after helps.

I ended up getting a stackable pill tower thing that holds a week of meds… I keep it on my nightstand with one of those tiny half-pint water bottles. It took a little while to build up the habit of taking them every morning as soon as I wake up, but with this setup I get it out of the way early, and I can easily see whether I’ve taken the day’s dose yet - each day of the week is a different color, and I rotate them so that the day’s container will be at the top of the stack. It’s sort of like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HY9RX22/
