I know I'm not alone, nor
crazy in struggling with GTD contexts
after all these years (italics refer to Paul Simon's song
Still crazy after all these years).
Regarding my use of energy within my next action lists (I read about it a long time ago, it's not mine), I have subdivided @Computer in 4 different lists:
@HomePC: NAs I must perform while I'm at home.
@Computer-Fast: @Computer NAs requiring short amount of time and low energy.
@Computer-Zombie: @Computer NAs requiring long amount of time and low energy.
@Computer-Focus: @Computer NAs requiring long amount of time and high energy.
I've never been keen on subdivding @Computer according to the software I'd use (email, Excel, task manager...), since I feel working between 2-3 programs (and switching between them with Alt-Tab shortcut is not really switching contexts for me; for instance, if I have to fetch some data from a spreadsheet to write an email...).
Still, not perfect. Some of my @Compuert NAs are easy to fit into one of those lists; other ones, not so much, I guess.
I recently wrote a short series of essays about GTD contexts (being the second one where I discussed this and other personal struggles with them):
