Well, I have always split my book into sections/chapters first. Pace to the gurus among us, I find this easiest to do in Book View. I left-click my cursor just past the last character in the section (typically a full stop). Then I click on the icon in the second menu line that shows one page, a blue arrow, then two pages. I keep doing that until I'm done.
Then I go to Tools > Table of Contents > Edit Table of Contents (rarely, Generate Table of Contents). Nine times out of ten, the entire TOC is there and I don't have to do anything more to it.
Incidentally, I have been doing more work in Book View lately, just because I'm lazy. If I want to substitute one word for another, I just highlight the doomed word and type the new one on top of it. In earlier iterations of Sigil, this was a recipe for disaster -- it kept inserting non-breaking spaces and other bad stuff. But 0.8.1 doesn't seem to do that, and I keep getting away with this risky behavior.
