To me, only "@home" of the two represents a context, that is, a place or situation I need to be in, in order to be able to work on the task in question.
I see @personal more like a categorization, a contrary to "workrelated".
For tasks that I only need myself and my brain to complete, I frequently use @anywhere. Those tasks are defined by verbs like "consider...", "reflect on...", "make a decision regarding..." etc.

mephisto;73675 said:I agree. But I imagine the things I have mentioned to fall under it if one would like to have a context like that. I put these things in my @misc category.

mephisto;73732 said:It's my main/general category.
Brent;73765 said:What goes into your @misc context?
mephisto;73773 said:Everything that isn't placed in a more specific context.
Or everything I can't create a context for with enough items to justify the creating of the context.
Brent;73799 said:Thanks for the clarifications! Just to playfully seek to understand your system better:
(I asked, "What goes into your @misc context?")
Why don't you have more specific contexts?
What's wrong with a context that contains one item?
mephisto;73802 said:Some next actions that I put in @misc are:
-mail X to ask for Y
-buy Z on some site
-start healthy food plan
