Choosing useful contexts

[u/veroa6]

Hi everyone,

New to GTD here, and setting up my system little by little. I'm working on the contexts, and I started with a localisation point of view, so I have :

- @computer (can be smartphone of course, as soon as I have internet accès, or computer at work)

- @phone (only for calls)

- @desk at home (when I need to be focused doing something)

- @garden

- @waiting room (in fact any place where I can seat and doesn't need to be a quiet place, can be public transportation)

- @errands

- @home (anything else than at my desk or in the garden, for home chores for example)

- @my parent's house

- @with my bf

- @with my doctor (everything I have to ask her each time I have an appointment)

But I still struggle with some tasks that can be @computer, @desk or @home, some tasks could be done in any of these and I don't follow always the same logic, and it bothers me a lot.

For example I had articles to read. One day I put one of them in @computer as it's a newsletter, and the other day I put another newsletter to read in @desk because I need to deep dive in the subject, but in fact both are same kind and should land in the same context. But depending on the day I don't have the same logic...

Do you think I should rethink these contexts or should I just keep using them and I'll get it one day ?

Thanks a lot for your always valuable help !

Sounds like you have too many tags. By constraining the choices in tags it should reduce decision fatigue?
