Currently, I get scripture portion in e-mail every day . . . something from the OT (currently 1st Samuel), something from the poetry books, and something from the NT (Romans). I also keep a prayer journal.
And beginning on Sunday, I’ll be adding something new. My church is starting a “First Place” weight loss program, and that has a daily lesson, as well as scripture memorization.
I also sing a lot – right now I’m singing in my head because I have no voice, but I sing hymns and choruses, and I’ll occasionally listen to the radio, to the local Christian station.
Since it’s about a 30 minute drive to anything (church, groceries, affordable gas), and it’s through beautiful forest, if I’m alone, I use that time to pray.
John MacAurthur Study Bible (one chapter in the NT, one in the OT per day) and TableTalk Magazine.
– lectio divina, using the Anglican Church of Canada’s daily readings
– my mats (to sit zazen)… a wonderful process of emptying, so that I may be filled
I get to do enough “head stuff” with the scriptures, because of my life-work as a minister, so I try to make my devotional time far more “heart-centred”.
Generally, I will meditate on whatever Scripture I’m on for that day — the NT once every 2 months = 5 chaps/day & the OT once every six months = ??
I also enjoy Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening.
Working though The Message, currently in Issiah and Prayer. Can’t say I’m on regular routine, I aim for daily but some weeks are better than others.

not nearly enough. 🙁
I’m currently doing “Believing God” by Beth Moore. I’ve also got Kay Arthur’s inductive study Bible, which is awesome.
