Also, Mark Taw seems to assume a Next Action only appears on one list. For example, his Next Action “buy oil” is on his @shopping list, but not his @car (gas station) list. Why not put it on BOTH lists? Lately, I’ve been thinking about “folksonomies” and de.licio.us-like tags for Next Actions. This is only viable with software, though. Why not let a Next Action have many tags, which can be context, location, people, and/or project names. Then your context or project lists are just subset views of your master list.
