Best Practice - Tight Transitions

In looking at my data that I have collected thus far, I see a big improvement in our transition times throughout the morning. I started the month of November recording the time of how long it took students to transition in lining up. After 10 days of data, I implemented the technique of tight transitions in which I scaffold the steps of what students needed to do. For instance, I would say one-stand up, two-push in your chair, and three-lineup quietly. Instantly, I saw a nice improvement in our transition times in lining up in the classroom. We still have some work to do, but most of my students are ready to go in an orderly fashion and even ready to move on to our next thing. I am even started to try doing this with non verbal cues and see if we can do it the same way.
Doug Lemov mentions in his book, Tight Transitions, that transitions should take no more than 30 seconds to complete. On average our transitions without the best practice took between 30 and 40 seconds. So far in looking at 11 days worth of data, the average is now almost 20 seconds. With scaffolding the steps and doing things again better, we have made nice strides in our transition times.
Now I am wondering how I can incorporate this into other parts of our day where we can save time and also eliminate behavior and off task behavior. How can my students take out materials and put them away more efficiently? Can they carry this idea into other specials (music, art, etc.)?  The use of the timer has been a huge motivator in doing things better. They liked the challenge of trying to do things quicker in an orderly fashion.
I still have 2-3 students that have work to do, but they are now lining up with the class and making an effort to help our class do things better. I am even sharing this with another grade level colleague as he/she has experiences similar frustrations in transition time.
