I take pills three times a day. After several incidents just like yours, I developed a system.
I have an alarm set on my cell phone for the afternoon and evening pills. I refuse to turn it off until I've taken my pill, even if it means snoozing a bunch of times. Alternatively, I can reset it for half an hour or an hour later if I have to. If I turn it off thinking I'll take the pill in a few minutes, I'll probably forget, and then not be able to figure out if I took it or not.
Also, I have a pill container in my purse. I put two days worth of drugs in at a time. I can look in any given compartment and know if I've taken something or not based on the amount in there.
I assume you're taking it in the morning? If not, use an alarm on your cell. If so, is there any morning routine you don't stray from? Cause then you can attach it to that.
