As I look around my bathroom sink in the morning, half-
asleep, I see my toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant,
allergy medicine and vitamin, and razor and shaving
cream. I work my way around the counter performing each
task, but on some mornings when I'm particularly low on
sleep, I start second-guessing
myself. Did I already brush
my teeth? Yeah, my mouth tastes like toothpaste. Did I
already put on deodorant? Yes, my armpits are slimy. The
hardest task to comprehend is whether I've taken my pills.
The sink could be wet from brushing my teeth, or I could
be juggling a memory of having taken them yesterday.
Proposed is an extremely simple device placed on a
bathroom counter next to whatever task is to be
remembered. It would be about the size of a baseball or
perhaps half the size of a coffee cup. It would have a large
button on the top, designed to be very rugged. Upon
completing whatever task associated with the device, the
button on the top would be pushed once. The device will
illuminate for an hour and automatically shut off, ready for
use the next morning.
(...or I could get more sleep)

Is there something to remind you to push the button? |
|
|
Another approach in the line of the description: |
|
|
// Did I already brush my teeth? Yeah, my mouth tastes like toothpaste // |
|
|
Did I already take my pills ? Yes, I still perceive the distinctive, long duration [mint | lemmon | cherry | banana | other ] taste of my pills. |
|
|
Motion sensor built into the pill bottle, keeps track of when it was last inverted? |
|
|
[phundug] Put the motion sensor on something that
will clamp to your bottle. |
|
|
Pill container with programmable time lock? |
|
|
I hate to bust your blister pack, but pill organizers exists
for this very purpose. Did [The Alterother] take his
bedtime pills? The Wednesday Bedtime compartment is
empty, so yes, he took his bedtime pills. |
|
|
Is [The Alterother] in bed? No... |
|
|
hmmm, the pills themselves need to remind you. |
|
|
They come in a weekly pack that when opened begins a bacterial reaction causing the pills to scale through the spectrum from yellow/Monday to purple/Sunday. You just then have to remember which color corresponds to which day of the week, and to open a new pack on purple night. |
|
|
Would that make today greenish-bluish day? |
|
|
pills should incorporate an addictive substance which withdrawal symptoms are timed to the next scheduled pill popping. |
|
|
Let the pill bottle weigh down the switch. |
