2. I had time slots for all of the contexts: I had preplanned meetings, I had time in-between meetings that I filled with @Mac context actions, I used my commute-work time to read some papers from my @Read context when I was still energised and my commute-home time to make some call from my @Phone list when was brain toast. No contexts were left untouched.

What reasons allow for satisfaction at the day end?
Wow... even with 20 projects, I never hope to move forward on EVERY one of them in a single day. Nor do I expect to get to every one of my context lists... That being said, I get satisfaction at the end of the day when
(a) I've made at least one person laugh & release some stress
(b) My cat is purring contentedly at the foot of my bed (or - even better - on my tummy!)
(c) I've done something to move at least one of my creative projects forward
(d) I've knocked a BUNCH of stuff off my next action lists!
(not necessarily in that order!)
