One thing I've found helpful with this sort of thing is a tickler list perspective that will show me the actions starting today. Context mode, grouped by start date, all groups except starting today closed. I've also got an urgent perspective that shows me the stuff that is due today, and I'll bounce back and forth between the two as I try to make sure that everything due today (or yesterday, or last week, or ...) gets done today and as much as possible anything that starts today gets done. I use the growl notification scheme, so I'll get a notification as those items become newly available as well. I find that this gives me enough of a nudge for most of the daily repeating stuff to have a fighting chance to become an ingrained habit.
