Same here. I used tags for a lot more than GTD contexts, e.g. also for a rough ETC and to group them by areas of responsibility. (N.B. Sometimes a task can be motivated by multiple areas of responsibility, so subheadings aren't good enough.) > How about adding the context to the tag table with a prefix character, say #? I don't follow you, sorry. Perhaps I should state explicitly that my need to distinguish between 'work' and 'personal' categories has nothing to do with my use of GTD contexts. I can (and do very often) work from home, and I also occasionally(!) do personal tasks from the office. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
