David Allen uses his trusted GTD Notetaker Wallet while David Sparks uses Drafts 4. Much like the ways you can capture, the ways you can define context can differ significantly.

Take a listen to Mac Power Users 219 where David Sparks and Katie Floyd talk with David Allen about GTD and technology. This definition is much harder to pinpoint, as noted at the beginning of this piece, because there are more variables to consider.įirstly, technology plays a much more prevalent role today than it did when the book was released. In fact, as contexts evolved they seemed to merge with the other elements of The Four-Criteria Model for Choosing Action in the Moment: Time Available, Energy Available, and Priority. ”Context lists can be defined by the set of tools available or by the presence of individuals or groups for whom one has items to discuss or present.” – – via WikipediaĪs more people adaopted GTD, and luminaries such as Merlin Mann added perspective, contexts began to change in order to accommodate more effective and efficient workflows. But energy levels don’t appear to be factored in when looking at the basic definition of contexts offered in David Allen’s seminal work, Getting Things Done. I’ve written about contexts before, explaining how I use energy levels as my main ones. The question mark at the end was telling: There are so many different ideas of what contexts are that I think it is worth examining them not only from the vantage point of what they were initially defined as in David Allen’s book Getting Things Done, but how they have evolved in the years since the book was released.
Several people had their own thoughts on what contexts were (and weren’t) and Schechter joined the fray with his own definition later on in the thread: That was quite the challenge, but I took it.Īfter that exchange, I saw a flurry of follow-up activity that was great to see.
My podcasting partner-in-crime Michael Schechter posed this challenge to me on Twitter:
