As a student, I often use RTM to keep track of projects at school; but I also have to do chores around the house to earn my allowance.

So I put all of the things I need to do every week under an "unfiled" list and make sure I set them with when it needs to be done, how often it needs to be done, as well as tagging it with: @chore, and setting the location to @Home.

When I'd done this I made a "Chores" smart list:
tag:@chore AND NOT dueAfter:"0 days from today"
which only shows me the chores I need to do today, making it easier as I dont need to file through lots of tasks to find what needs doing, nor add more chores all the time: I just look at this list whenever I have time. ;)
