It sounds viable to me. I don't exactly agree with separating @home into leisure and work, but on the other hand I understand your reasons for doing so and it's not such a bad idea. Technically speaking "it's all work" in GTD, meaning that if it's important enough that you've committed to doing it it should be given equal time with everything else since it needs to get done eventually. If you haven't really committed to doing it then you might move it into someday/maybe and just review that when the urge strikes you. I don't normally follow my own advice here as I've got many stale next actions that haven't been culling in the weekly review and that really should be moved into someday/maybe.


I don't think priorities are non-GTD it's just priorities are considered dynamic and they are the last thing you consider once you've filtered your next actions by context (where you are and what tools you have access to), how much time you have, and how much energy you have (I've always been very uneasy with that criteria since it seems like a loophole for procrastinating). At least that's the GTD best practice but I've never quite gotten away from priority thinking.

Myself I use @work @home @agenda and @errand. It's not perfect but anything more granular than that and I just resist it.
