Bongoman: Good question. Yeah, I think that context’s an important distinction for folks to make. Maybe one of the most important.

Since I work at home so much of the time, I don’t break things out by “home” vs. “work.” Since I also have wireless and cell phone I tend not to break out “calls” vs. “online” and so on. My next actions are usually extremely specific—literally just the next thing I am committed to do.

The context distinctions that are meaningful to me are actually more mundane. For example, I break out “to buy” lists into multiple stores or collapse them into “neighborhood errands” when appropriate.

Like, I say, the most important thing for me is to have atomic-level control over knowing where all of my different work and non-work web projects stand. So, for example, I like to use big-ass heavy Kraft-paper clasp envelopes as “job jackets” into which I can gather all my hard copy notes and support materials. Ditto for “to read” and so on. They pack away neatly and allow me to stay focused on the task at hand.

I guess my biggest priority is to know that there’s a well-maintained silo for each of my major horizontal obligations. With my online tools, iCal and a tickler file, I usually do pretty well.

My biggest weak point right now is probably that “@tech” list, which is currrently like an unholy junk drawer. Still trying to figure out how to get that whipped into shape. :)
