I’m a designer/developer and general hacker-geek…
I mostly eschew contexts in favor of project-specific Next Action lists.
Since I tend to set aside chunks of time (“okay, tonight I’m working on X”) for a specific project, I just switch over to that “context” list and work through the next actions for that project.
Anything that doesn’t fall within a project goes on a Miscellaneous list. I never have more than about 20 miscellaneous next actions, so they all go on one list.
As for traditional contexts like phone, computer, email, web — or even work, home, car — I haven’t seemed to need them. At work, I work on “work” projects, and at home I work on everything else. I’m always near an online computer and a phone. When I’m not at the computer, I’m generally in “leisure” mode and not trying to get anything done.
So, anyway, I guess that puts me with Cari :-)
