In the past I would do all the weeding, then all the watering, the all the planting. I've found concentrating on one small area, and moving between tasks, is less tiring. This includes proper wrist position when using tools. Built up handles help to cushion arthritic hands and fingers, but for a painful wrist, the tools with the modified handle will reduce wrist strain. Instead of carrying around a large container of water, I place it in a central location, and then use smaller cups to carry water to individual potted plants.
Soaker hoses work great for watering in the yard.
