Organizing

Contexts

Tag actions with the place, tool, or situation you need to do them.

What a Context is

A Context says what you need in order to act: a place, a tool, a person, or a situation. Examples are Computer, Phone, Errands, or Home.

Using Contexts

  • An item has one Context. Choose it when you clarify or edit the item.
  • A Project can have a default Context. Items you add to it take that Context unless you choose another.
  • Do Now filters by Context, so you see only what you can do where you are.

Managing your Contexts

Open Contexts from the Organize group. You can add a Context, rename it, change the order, or delete it. Unlike Areas, Contexts cannot be archived.
