We explore how categorizing your GTD next actions lists by context will help you accomplish more with less effort. Context is critical, because it filters what you can do before you factor in time, energy, and priority. We discuss what contexts are, how they have and haven't changed over the years, misconceptions about contexts, and examples of ways people use them in today's world.

Our most recent Office Hour has another engaging discussion of GTD and productivity. We shared "ah ha" moments about context-based lists and making the weekly review easier. We considered how much the higher horizons need to be detailed out (or not). And we had plenty of tool talk about Google apps, Nirvana, Todoist, paper, and the search for a perfect app.
