Thanks for your input. I've thought a bit more about this and tracking what I did in the past isn't really what i want anyway. I just want to get reminded of what I should be doing at the moment. But like you said, you don't track brushing your teeth. It's just routine.
I think I'll just make a more thorough daily schedule and try to stick with that. That being said though, recurring stuff can probably be handled with the tickler system. However this is probably only handy for things that have to be done every week+.
