Idea: Mark each pill with one of seven different colors, each assigned to a day of a week; surely it's easier to distingiush this tuesday's pill from last tuesday's pill and this monday's pill (and in the process you also train your memory by making it remember consistently on an easy level)

An easier variation was getting a pillbox with seven compartments, and loading it at the beginning of each week.

I do this for supplements and medication too, and highly recommend it. I think it's in general difficult for people to remember to take something regularly.
