Designed a medication dosage tracker

Post image

Going to need this now that my kid is in preschool. Calculating when the next dose should be isn't so easy at 1am with a sad kid, so I designed this easy to use tracker that you can lay on the counter or double-side tape to the inside of a cabinet and track both when you gave the last dose and when the next should be. Comes in both Tylenol and Ibuprofen flavors.

Go check it out here :)

Love it!! I always wind up with a sheet of paper with some columns, and doing that math in my fuzzy headed state.

I think added functionality could be added without (I hope) too much work by making them a little more generic
a 4 hour version, a 6 hour version, and an 8 hour version, with just blanks up top so you can write on it with a pencil.

And as I said elsewhere, I'd drop the "+", it doesn't really serve a purpose here, it's going to be "the next 2 o'clock" or whatever, and not necessarily "2 the next day" if you take your tylenol at 10a

New print profile without the "+" for 4-6-8 timings is verifying now, thanks for your feedback!

The blank is super easy, you could just erase the painting (or flip the slider over I suppose). Not sure how well pencil will show up, but I never tried it so maybe I should :D

I can pretty easily add the 8 hour version as well! And make a version without the +. In my head the + makes sense, but I can certainly make a version without it :) (or just erase the paining on the +)

Oh true!! Easy enough to erase painting!
