I am having a difficult time in seeing the usefulness of contexts the way it is defined here. I am just starting to incorporate the GTD system and the term context caught me as a question mark like many of you. Perhaps for its ambiguity. There are action items which can either be under the scope of a project with a list of several next actions to follow up on or can simply have one next action to do to complete it but it might still be related to the project. It would be useful to then define the context as being of the outcome generated when all the actions and actions within the projects are completed in other words the vision as there might be project within projects or projects running simultaneously against the other. Context when used like @home, @work is too narrow a view that it might complicate an otherwise easy action, the action itself is self explanatory. I may be over looking something in the system, would anyone like to discuss.
