My Contexts

You can define con­texts to keep Life­Topix items orga­nized accord­ing to your taste. In the Get­ting Things Done® (GTD®) method­ol­ogy devel­oped by David Allen, Con­texts are typ­i­cally based on a phys­i­cal loca­tion, resource, or the equip­ment that’s nec­es­sary to com­plete a task. Pro­duc­tiv­ity is increased when you’re not “switch­ing con­texts.” For exam­ple, you’re more pro­duc­tive if you return phone calls dur­ing blocks of time, rather than switch to a dif­fer­ent task — such as graphic design or cod­ing. Exam­ples of Con­texts are office, home, gro­cery store, etc. 

To cre­ate a new tag, tap . To view the items with a tag, tap the con­text tag. To edit the name of a tag, tap its . To delete a tag, swipe it.

To assign a tag to an item from this view, tap the tag, then tap .

To assign a tag to an item from its details view, tap Edit under Con­text tags in the right panel and tap a con­text tag to select it from the Con­text Tags view.  To assign a tag to mul­ti­ple items, tap all the con­text tags that apply.

The fol­low­ing items can be tagged with contexts:

  • Appoint­ments
  • Assets
  • Audio
  • Book­marks
  • Check­lists
  • Events
  • Expenses
  • Files
  • Gifts
  • Met­rics
  • Notes
  • Per­sons
  • Photo
  • Projects
  • Reminders
  • Ser­vice Providers
  • Ser­vices
  • Sub­jects
  • Shop­ping Lists
  • Tasks
  • Trips
  • Video
  • Vis­its
