I always make sure to go through my F1 list and check on commanders that have "defend" orders before I submit a turn, which helps a lot. I'll usually get the easy parts of the turn over with (gold-related stuff usually, including recruitment, since this tends to be an easy call)

Other than that I usually start with strategic planning and figure out what I need to get taken care of, either enemy threats or objectives I need to meet, and then assign resources as available in order to meet my goals for the turn. I also think about what I'll need for next turn and assign as needed for that, especially item forging. Once I have all my assets assigned the turn's pretty much ready to go. Hopefully that makes sense.
