I hate the weekly/monthly task of popping my prescription tablets out of their plastic strips (I do them all at once and store them in a tub, makes life easier in the long run.)
BUT only today did I devise a method of making the popping easier - slit open the backs with the scissors before pressing them out of their pods. SO much easier!!

 @bade302b 
I store the individual pods in a container. Then I leave the empty pod on the counter after I take the pill to answer the inevitable question “did I take that pill today?” 

 @bade302b I do mine on a Sunday , or your nails, dont need sharp implements , even my excuses for fingernails will do it !
