I use a Google sheet, and look at my finances twice a month. Each time, I duplicate the sheet from a month back (so 2 new sheets each month). Each sheet has the bills to go look at and handle. Either to ensure they were paid (autobill) or to set up a payment.
It's in need of an update to stop duplicating sheets and just either add columns, that way I could easier do things like compare over time or create charts, etc. But I often have extra notes or other things in each sheet as needed, so I'd need a way to still incorporate those. And it's been working well; mostly ensuring I don't forget any of the individual bills.
The harder thing for me is when I get a paper bill, ensuring it gets scheduled to be looked at and paid if I don't do it right away.
