Can a next action have both an Errands context and a due date?
Suppose I have the following next action:
Buy printer ink
Context: Errands
Due date: Friday
If I am already out running errands on Tuesday, should this action appear on my Errands list even though it is not due until Friday?
My understanding is that the due date indicates the deadline, while the Errands context indicates that the action can be completed while I am out. However, the action itself already makes it obvious that I need to go to a shop, so I am questioning what practical value the generic Errands context adds.
Would you assign both a due date and an Errands context to this action? If so, how do you use the Errands context in practice without confusing the due date with the date on which the action becomes available?
