Tire Pressure (How often do you check - strategies to remember?)

So the other day I looked at my truck tires to see them looking low and I have not checked the pressure in quite some time. Seen as I needed to drive a distance 70 miles I figured better fill them up. To my surprise they were ridiculously low... 20 PSI in 3 tires and the 4th was down to 12psi. For the record my tires are 265/70/17 so they are bigger and less air means a smoother more comfy ride when smacking the minefield of potholes in my area.

Crazy how the weather really changes them should have realized after my last tank of fuel was total garbage I attributed it to me towing a car on the trailer but It was more than that. Can't wait to see the difference on this tank

Does everyone here check pressure once a week month or what? what is a good rule of thumb for keeping up with it. think I will set an alarm once a month on my phone to remind me.
