Lesson Overview

6.33 – Using Alarms and Timers to Stay Consistent: Alarms transform intention into reliable action by bridging memory gaps with structure. Set phone reminders labeled with medication names and exact times to avoid confusion. Choose tones that are gentle yet distinct so you respond calmly, not startled. For multiple daily doses, stagger alerts to match your real schedule. If technology feels overwhelming, use physical timers, sticky notes, or smartwatches. Pair each alarm with a routine trigger such as brushing teeth or mealtime. Mark doses off immediately after taking them to confirm completion. Consistent cues train your brain to act automatically, building discipline over time. Review settings weekly to adjust for schedule changes or travel. Every successful reminder strengthens accountability and reduces anxiety. Structure through sound converts forgetfulness into precision and peace of mind.
