Hi everyone,
I've used GTD for many years and one of the things that has always evaded me is making decisions around tasks and contexts in communicating with others. An example: to move a project ahead I have to talk to somebody about something. I have a few options, I could: call a meeting, email them, IM them, call them, swing by their desk and if they're there I can talk to them face to face, text message, etc.
As you can see we have so many ways to communicate these days and many of these would fall under different contexts. Using the traditional contexts, these would cover @office (or @home), @computer, @calls, etc. I've never nailed down the best way to handle these sorts of tasks and what lists they should be on. What do you do for these sorts of tasks? Are you using the traditional contexts to manage them, or do you have another context setup?
