I recommend managing routine work with checklists. Routine work is recurring and it therefore is wasting time putting and removing these items from your to-do list. Once a checklist has been established you don’t touch an item anymore except checking it out.
There typically are a few checklists most of us probably have in common:
- Daily routine
- Weekend routine
- Monthly events
One of my readers recommended a great tool to easily create and manage checklists on the web. I immediately fell in love with this site and moved all my checklists there.
gubb is a free web-service where you can create as many lists as you want. Within each list you can create items to be checked. It is very flexible with regards to the layout and arranging your screen.

Simple and practical, just give your self a try if you have tried before.
