(I used to have @store to keep a shopping list, but my partner and I use a shared iPhone app now.)

I am a software consultant and have many clients and many projects, so I've been using contexts to categorize my clients. When I was using Toodledo, it was handy to just click on the client's name and see all the stuff related to that client. I recently switched to a paper-based system and write the client's name in the corner of each card, which has been working well.

I really like the idea of contexts, but they just don't seem to apply to me. Is anyone else in the same boat? (I guess I just assume I'm doing something wrong if I'm the only one doing something that way.)
I just stumbled on something yesterday about this that you may find useful:

You have to walk that fine line between: how many different ways do I want to keep all these different segments; how easily do I want to be able to review them, and how confusing is it if I put too many things together in one list? I recommend you just get started, try out the most common ones (Agendas, Anywhere, Calls, Computer, Home, Errands, Office), and give yourself permission to change or enhance your system to fit your world as you move forward. - David Allen
