Rebooting My Workflow

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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. @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 🙂
