On a daily basis, I almost always refer to the project plan (gaant chart) to give me guidance regarding the project deadlines and other assignments. This is particularly useful because I see what my action items are and what steps I need to take in order to complete the assignment. Gaant charts also help organize due dates so assignments can get planned out in advance. Unfortnately gaant charts created on microsoft project tend to be buggy if a lot of information is stored on the file so FYI. Hands down, I refer to my project file.
