## Details

## Overview

Context-based organization is a core GTD principle where tasks are organized not by project, but by the context or location where they can be completed. This allows you to batch similar types of work and make the most of your current situation.

## Common Contexts

- @Computer - Tasks requiring computer access
- @Phone - Calls to make
- @Home - Personal tasks at home
- @Office - Work tasks at the office
- @Errands - Things to do while out
- @Waiting - Items awaiting response from others
- @Agenda - Topics to discuss with specific people
- @Low Energy - Simple tasks for tired periods

## Benefits

- Work on multiple projects efficiently in one session
- Reduce context switching between different modes
- Make productive use of available time and resources
- Batch similar types of work together
- Clear view of what's possible in current situation
- Optimize energy and tool availability

## Implementation

Tag or categorize each next action with appropriate context(s). When you have time and are in a specific context (e.g., at computer), review only tasks that can be done in that context, maximizing efficiency.
