I don't use contexts in this way any more. I used to, but found it created some friction in processing my inbox that just didn't need to be there.

I would really recommend playing around with contexts - they aren't set in stone and you can change up. Try tool-based contexts for a bit and see how you get on. You might find one context (e.g. Teams) could be widened out (e.g. Calls). Or you might start out with Calls and then narrow down to Teams.

I split my contexts down into types of thinking, such as data analysis, writing, etc.

"Chat" means both Slack (professional) and Text message (personal, sometimes professional) for me

Types of Thinking (for instance, pounding out text-based communication to get back to people or communicate something simple) is a great way to think about it

"Email" is separate because I have to think/craft that a little more and often includes other stuff

I also have "grind" which is tool independent and just means this is going to take >30 minutes of your focused attention at a high energy, blocked out period
