There are two types of recurring tasks that I encounter:

chores: for tasks that I need to do and recur periodically (such as clean the house, wash the car, pay bills), I put each one on a different index card and use a tickler file to schedule when I will attend to them. This helps keep the work load manageable, because you can visually see how the tasks are distributed throughout the month.

things I'm working towards: for things that I need to do consistently and will get me somewhere (like working out or studying), I created a form that I print out and it helps keep me focused on my objectives for the month. You can check it out here
