Looping Workflow

I would like my workflow to loop.  Currently I have a workflow to see if a task is complete every 24 hours.  BUt I have a TON of steps.  So step 1 is check if its complete, else pause for 24 hours, at which time it will check again, until either it gets completed or it it goes past the due date, at which time a e-mail fires.  So instead of repeating the above through X steps.  How can I make the workflow loop, and check on its own without so many steps.
