I do GM mode as well and some other things I do:
-I try to keep fresh arms in my bullpen. You said a month can go by with not much to do, so I'm guessing you aren't doing this. I sim one day at a time and check my pitching staff after every game. I like to have a long-man and one middle reliever with minor league options to rotate out when my bullpen is tired.
-I check my scouts task list pretty regularly and look under the "recently scouted players" list. I look especially close at the independent league guys he's scouted that I'm able to purchase for $250k. I check this multiple times per month.
-I check every minor league team at least every 2 weeks to make sure they have a fully stocked roster, check on top prospects, get an idea on who may need promotion soon, check on guys learning new positions etc.
-I keep a close eye on splits vs L and R. While I may not make lineup adjustments weekly off of this, I like to be mindful of it because guys will sometimes develop bad splits during a season. Having an eye on this helps me think long-term about roster construction.
-I assign my scout to check on guys in my organization that have low scouting accuracy.
