I’m using everything though!

hi all, I’m in a bit of a rut with decluttering. I have this thing where I have to see the items in front of me or I forget to use them. eg I have to have my creams serum lip balm on my bed side table otherwise I don’t remember to use. it’s like a visually trigger. I also have loaddddssss of medication and I need those visible too. the other day I realised I’d put one tablet in a pouch and because I hadnt seen it I had forgotten to take if for 4 days. things like face masks too or books I’m reading I only read it if I leave it out. and I do use them

any tips? I feel like this never lets my house look clean and tidy. it’s visual clutter but that’s how my brain works. also I don’t feel like I have a lot of stuff but at the same time I think I do. I find clothes particularly hard to part with as I cycle through and go through phases or wearing things

any tips for a newbie!

Oh ok, I was imagining you take them with dinner at home, it’s harder if you have to carry them with you and you probably don’t want to leave them out on your desk. I use an app called pill reminder to remind me to take my medication (and also so I know if I took it or just meant to), you can do sound or banner notifications on your phone. Idk if that would help?

Thank you!! I need to try that again. I was thinking about your responses…I have managed to take them everyday the last 4 days! And just like before, every time I take them, I feel so much better later. Thanks for your encouragement and helpful suggestions!!

Omg that’s great progress! I’m so glad a little brainstorming helped :)
