I have one central mindmap with various mindmaps linked to it. One of them is called "Daily". That's the map that I use every night to review my goals for the next day, set new ones, etc.

Inside that map, I have tasks categorized by type and priorities, where some of them are valid for every day. For example, I use BrainWorkshop and EyeQ for every day and I do some aerobic exercises every day for 30 minutes, these are my recurring tasks. In addition to that, I want to rob a bank tomorrow.
My mindmap might look like this:

Daily
|- Mind training
|---- BrainWorkshop - 20 sessions
|---- EyeQ - 1 session + 20
|- Health
|---- Do some aerobic exercises for 30 minutes
|- Financial
|---- Rob a bank (borrow a gun from Mike)
| etc...

As you can see, I have a simple task organization and categorization system where order of items signifies their priority in particular category, and order of categories might signify their priority. Some of those tasks are recurring, and I simply mark them differently (or you can mark the non-recurring tasks differently) from the new tasks. Then I simply delete or archive finished one-time tasks, and leave the recurring tasks in their respective categories.

I use MindManager for my mindmapping, but FreeMind or some other free alternatives can be good, too, if you want to try this approach.
