For me the key to developing the habits was to make checklists for my reviews. These checklists helped me to remember to process every one of my in boxes.* I made these checklists in OmniOutliner. Partly because OF didn't exist at the time, but I've found having the review checklists in a separate app. makes it easier for me to bounce around in OF during the review.

My regular reviews are morning, evening, weekly, monthly, and bi-annually, with different things covered in different reviews. I put these reviews on my calendar until I developed the habit of doing them without prompting. (Truth be told, my evening review is still on my calendar after 2+ years of GingTD.) Snapshots of some of my review checklists are on the forums. I plan to blog about them one of these days.

* My current minimal set of in boxes: physical in box at home, physical inbox at work, in box folder in my laptop bag, voice memos on phone, and whiteboard marker on bathroom mirror.
