So, the last few weeks have flown by.
In many ways, both physically & electronically, I've rebooted my workflow. I've had a GTD-like work process for quite a while, but have gotten sloppy as of late. So, I took about 10 days and "refocused" my Inbox (currently at zero), my Deleted items (currently at zero), reorganized my email-system and de-cluttered my physical office (I threw away tons of "stuff" that I was honestly never going to read or look at again - papers, cables, gadgets, etc.).
My reorganized email system (Exchange 2007 SP2 / Entourage 2008 EWS) looks like this:
For those of you wondering - here's a quick overview of GTD - Getting Things Done.
How do you keep up with your tasks? projects?
How do you keep your "RAM" clear - so you can focus on the most important things of the day?
How often do you think we should "reboot" our workflow?
Am I the only one that has been spinning my wheels lately?

I actually have an official GTD whitepaper on how to use Entourage in the system. If you want it I could send it your way.

Going to reboot my email workflow at the end of the month as well. Think I'll archive everything and start fresh too. I end up doing that about once a year.

@tony - thanks - awesome
@jeremy - yeah - I hate it when my Inbox gets out of control - I used to use "down time" for managing that, but, then I forgot what "down time" was :)
