Anywhere (This is rarely used, and I may eventually just put these items on "home.")
Home
Computer
Internet
Calls
Errands
Hubby
Daughter 1
Daughter 2
Then I have what I think of as "Extra" lists:
$$$ (This is for next actions that involve purchases. Since these are dependent on cash flow timing, I find it helpful to have them set aside. Otherwise, they clutter up my other context lists because I can't get them taken care of yet.)
(Mini) Projects (This is for multi-step "tasks" that are not significant enough to require on-paper planning. It's easier on my brain to keep them separate.)
"Real" Projects
Someday/Maybe
Waiting
And I currently have one called "After Move," as we will be moving soon and I want a place to record a) tasks that will need to be completed shortly after moving and b) tasks I'm intentionally putting off until after the move.
