Enroute and in between approaches, they say if you aren't doing something,
you've forgotten something.
I've come across a few checklists on the web that include a few items to
check enroute, and I'd like to get a feel for what you folks here feel are
your best enroute "housekeeping chores".


Filing Skyspotter PIREPS (which includes calculating winds aloft using
GPS), receiving weather, PIREPS, and updated radar images for remaining
route and destination, comparing actual weather to forecast, comparing
planned to actual fuel burn, calculating remaining fuel, briefing the
approach, and calculating time needed to descend (in order to call ATC
and ask for lower by if they don't offer it by a certain point).

I am not saying this is the best; rather these are the tasks I do at
this stage of my experience while en route.
