Nagging

Hey so I have been nagging my husband a lot lately about getting stuff done. I want to not have to do this but it seems to be the only way he gets anything important done. Mind you he’s in the military and I know he’s tired after work. But it’s just a lot. And we are long distance at the moment so I can’t do any of these things for him. He wants me to stop nagging him all the time. Are there any better ways of trying to remind him to do something without sounding annoying or having the need to remind him everyday?
