Prysm Note for medication reminders
Medication is the one area where forgetting has real consequences, so the system has to be boring and repeatable. A recurring reminder at the same time each day, plus a note of what changed and when, covers most of what a household needs.
What matters here
- Recurring reminders at fixed times
- A note with the current dose and schedule
- A list of repeat prescriptions
- Appointments as dated tasks
- A plain record of changes for the doctor
Setting the schedule
One recurring task per medication, at the times it is taken, with the dose in the description. Keeping the dose in the task means the reminder itself answers the question.
The prescription loop
Repeat prescriptions fail quietly: the pack runs out on a Sunday. A task set a week before the expected end, with the pharmacy details in the note, prevents the scramble.
Notes for appointments
Record changes, side effects and questions as they happen. A list written over three weeks is far more useful in a ten minute appointment than memory is.
