I dont have any special tricks, I use the "n" button alot, I try to keep useless commanders off that list by setting them on patrol or preach if possible.

Yes, exactly. I have this same problem. Having useless commanders is very annoying because then I get tired of cycling through all of them. I wish I could give them an "Idle" order which means "only cycle to me by pressing the I key, but not the N key." Would be nice is cases where patrolling is not appropriate or where you want to make sure you come back to the useless commander later. Just another pipedream management feature we can hope for someday.
My strategy is a little like CUnknown's except that I tend to rearrange the list in a random order, bash 'n' and F1 a lot, flail about, yack on IRC, come back to the job, bash 'n' some more, then press 'e' in frustration and mail in the turn. Then I go find my piece of paper and see if I can submit an updated copy.
Also, I really really really wish I could queue up a set of research targets like Const 6 -> Thau 2 -> Evo 2, etc. Because sometimes, having access to that particular spell a turn earlier can make the difference between winning and losing a battle. Maybe someday... Until then, piece of paper is my friend. Actually, one of the fun things about having the piece of paper is that you can kind of process the 'idea phase' of your turns without a computer. If I could only figure out a way to neatly print out a copy of the map with just the borders and neighboring province links, but without the extra artwork, it would be even better.
