Force Carb 7 Days Long Enough?

I've seen a lot of variances on the subject of the set it and forget it method of carbing (10-12 psi). Some folks say 5-7 days is enough...others say 10-14 days. I need a keg ready in one week and am just trying to determine if I set it at 10-12psi and I'll be good to go in a week....Or do I use the impatient method of shaking, etc...

Looking for some experiences from you all....

Hmmm. If I wanted to be sure it was ready in a week, I'd probably set it at 30 psi for 36 hours (no shaking!) in the kegerator and then purge and reset to 12 psi for the rest of the time. I'd check on day 5 just to make sure it was ready.
