It's that time of year where I like to review how I'm getting on with my implementation, and see what improvements I can make. I've identified that I have some concern with the way I handle contexts. Professionally I do a huge amount of my work on the computer, online. I also work from home most of the time. This means that @computer tasks for work and not work tend to bleed into each other. Any other home workers with a similar experience?
I'm currently rethinking along these lines:
@home
This would be usual home and family stuff such as "Take down xmas decorations"
@garden
This would be any kind of outdoors thing such as "Make new compost heap"
@computer-home
This would be any kind of computer-based home task such as "Research birthday present for Grandpa"
@computer-work
This would account for most of my professional stuff such as "prepare training course for X"
@work
This would be non-computer work stuff that might require papers or just me to be thinking in a work context, such as "brainstorm project plan for Z"
@errands
This tends to be my general out and about stuff, I also have @shopping
@phone
Phone calls to make - fairly slim usage
@agendas (alphabetised)
Stuff to talk about with people when I get the chance.
@anywhere
I find I sometimes have stuff to do that really just requires pen and paper and a brain - and as I travel quite a bit, it seems like a reasonable context.
The main tweak is the idea of separating the computer context. Does this make sense to others? Any comments or experiences to share?
Thanks
