If the Place is critical (Red Barn) then that is the context, but if the Application is critical (Scrivener) then that is the context. For example, Place and Application are mutually exclusive. You can use your native intelligence to add the other factors. Instead think about contexts being the first gate you must pass and then the lists contains most of the options.

I sense that you believe that software should do most of your thinking for you. All new Projects/Actions/standalone tasks need to inherit whatever Tags (if different from Contexts) are currently being selected for. All new Projects/Actions/standalone tasks need to inherit whatever Contexts are currently being selected forД¦. All new Projects/Actions/standalone tasks need to inherit whatever Areas of Life is currently selectedДҐ. User-definable Hotkeys for our Context tagsД¤. Just in case any GTD developers are reading this, this what I firmly believe we need is:Дў. However for me the big problem is the actual entering the Context / tag data. For this reason I need multiple Contexts per task. As you can imagine it's very easy for Tasks to be in more than one of the above context.ДЄs you can imagine all of the above are NOT mutually exclusive. But sometimes I also like to tag things byД¬) Energy Level Required I even have a couple of weird special Contexts forД®) if I have already put it off too many times ('~Frog') and the amount ofДЇ) Time required if small ('~Tiddler'). As a result sometimes a task can belong to 2 (or more) different contexts at once.Д«) Application I'll need to use. However David Allen seemed to encourage different categories of Context. Not that is all very general, useful only in the aggregate not in the specific but may explain the dichotomy between the taggers and the non-taggers.Д¬ontexts are the backbone of any GTD system. So to the first type lack of multiple tags is a severe fault in a GTD system while to the second it's a confounding variable that doesn't lead to better understanding or use of the system. They are often introverts and typically are engineers or programmers. Again, very broadly, those that don't like tags tend to be very verbal or written, not graphically oriented, don't typically like to see random presentations of things but tend to prefer linear, more structured presentations. They also tend to clump rather than sort collections. I'm paraphrasing but in general those that like tags, also like mind maps, are often extroverts, do not work as well in strict linear structures. I can't remember the details but it's been studied in the context of how you group and associate items and how you prefer to see large sets of information presented to you for review and action. One note: There seem to be people who think better with lots of tags and those who do not. Really crafting contexts to be specific means it's a lot easier to actually get stuff done.Now I see needing multiple contexts for an action as a sign that the contexts need to be defined better and that they haven't been thought out well. But then I learned just how expensive in time and attention it is to switch contexts and that the myth of everything is avail. Some can be done in either, go to the post office can happen whichever town I find myself in.ДЄt one time I thought that I needed to have multiple contexts for actions. The number of items in that list is small enough that I can tell by the action which town I need to do the action in. There are a few unavoidable duplications, I have a context that is either local town or the town just down the road but that is more to avoid having more contexts. IMO the best, properly crafted contexts are mutually exclusive so there is no need for multiple contexts. Not at all crippling, instead it's a benefit. MyLife Organized does not support teams or collaboration.Yes correct, only one context per action.OmniFocus does not support teams or collaboration.Number of prioritization dimensions (besides dates, categories, etc.) Supports scheduled tasks, multiple bookmarks, subtask sorting by several criteria which includes alphabetical order, task properties (visibility, priority, dependencies, format settings), as well as display statistics.
