Does GTD imply working on work stuff at home and vice versa?

Crap, I'm posting to 43 folders, I must have passed some invisible line in the sand.

I've been doing the GTD thing for about 6 months or so now, and am just starting to get a handle on things, but one thing has bugged me for a while. As I'm creating and using a single system for everything in my life, doesn't this imply that my life will have even fewer boundaries between work and home than before?

For example, I have a context 'laptop' in omnifocus on which I do a lot of my own personal as well as work stuff. As it moves with me from home to the office and back, should I be creating subcontexts for items under laptop, or just doing the next most important action, reguardless of whether my work day is over or not?

Thanks, Nick

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
