Especially when I was doing a lot of traveling, I pretty much switched everything I could to auto-pay. I always found the weekly or biweekly bill paying something of a drudgery. I still periodically look through stuff but it's pretty rare I find a problem I need to deal with (and that's usually something like a charge from some payment processor I just didn't recognize).

Which it does definitely remove a lot of the work. Which removes a lot of the incentive to pay fewer things (requiring such work), and removes a lot of the visibility towards exactly what is being paid (and trends, etc.).
