I put mine right beside my coffee pot. I love my coffee, even at night, so I will definitely see my meds and remember to take them. One thing tho is that even tho they are right there, I really have to not get into the habit of telling myself" I'll take them in a few minutes". Really it only takes me a minute to forget.
When I had lots of meds I tried a pill box, a weekly one. Looks nicer on the counter then a wack of pill bottles, especially when you have guests. Plus easier to not mix things up. I've been know to take wrong meds, at wrong doses when manic. So I use different colored highlighters to colour the labels, always the same colour for specific meds.
There are small compact pill containers on the market that also have alarms on them, good idea if you are out and about a lot. Also at one point when I was taking a lot of meds, my pdoc had the pharmacy blister pack them into weekly packs for me. This worked pretty well too
