How to choose the context for a next action?

I need to buy a present. I can try to buy it on the way home, when I go from my office. Or I can try to do it during the weekend if we decide to go to the city. What is the best context to organize that reminder - oh, sorry, next action? :)

Easy... Put up "Buy present to ######" on your errands list, and this list do you have to scan everytime when you are going to city or when you know you gonna pass any stores...

Just need to remember to check this list when go shopping :) Easy!
Exactly that is the 'Review' practice to get into. Review your lists as often as you need to and do it habitually.
