I really hate repeated tasks, so I do everything I can to minimize them. It's helpful to split up big tasks into smaller TODOs, so every week the team edits a Google Doc that has the past week's successes, past week's failures, and this week's goals. I wrote a script in Google Apps Script that converts the Google Doc to HTML and emails it to the team a couple hours and our advisors so they can track our progress. It runs on a time trigger which is good because it means everyone has to be sure their goals are finalized by the time the email goes out.
