[...] This is really more of a personal management hack than a personnel management hack, but I think it scales pretty well–I’ve had an entire office take vertical days from time to time. And actually, I like this so well that this isn’t the first time I’ve written about it. [...]

Sounds like a place I go quite often. I second Marc’s comment about the GTD Fast CD’s – they’re so much more kinetic when you already know the content. With those, CD’s I find you get more of the Zen (or Kool Aid).

I have found the minute you deem an item from the in box a project and truck it off to a file, you’d better keep up on the system. I allowed myself to fall off the wagon so many times, I got reluctant to make something a project and just left it in the in box.

Bren:

Great post. I recommend you consider investing in a copy of the Getting Things Done Fast CDs – much higher energy than the audiobook, these CDs are an abridged live recording at one of DA’s two-day seminars. The CDs include a PDF workbook like the one used at the seminars that you can print out to do a mind sweep and other prep activities.
