I have very different answers for (a) and (b), which is why I run two separate bullet journals for home and work (aside from secrecy issues at my workplace =P).
(a) For home, I realise that making myself put everything in the journal forces some routine in my life. So I have a main source (i.e. the journal) where things are most likely to be, and only start looking elsewhere later.
(b) For work, I find if I have a lot of repetitive tasks I prefer a habit tracker? So it becomes a list of 30 - 50 items with boxes to check off depending on how frequently it's done. Then I don't have to rewrite the list, and it's less irritating to repeat making tick marks every day :)
I'm also a weird person who has melded paper journaling with digital alerts, so take whatever's useful for you
