I'm chugging the cool-aid as quickly as I can mix it. This morning, I opened a pack of index cards with the intention of taking notes in a non-linear fashion (oh, the freedom my brain finally found). By the end of the day, I was hanging user stories on my cubicle wall to manage all of my administrative responsibilities. After all - if it's good for managing software development, why wouldn't it work for managing my daily / weekly administrative tasks (server maintenance, training coordination, permissions on various things, working with various people for various goals, etc).

On the left side of the divide (created by the wall segments - makes it easy) is my back-log. On the right is my in-progress list sorted by highest priority at the bottom. The done list is the trash can you can't see on the floor.

Awww... I can't even read your new user stories. Those two look so neat and tidy, you must have been super productive.
