One inbox is not a hard rule. You need capture tools in many different places (home/office/car are a few examples). You can even use voice recorder (memos) or similar tools. Its important to note that many updates have been made to recommendations as we move forward in time and tech is more present in our day to day, compared to when it was when the first edition of GTD came about.

Contexts, yes, I just found out that I currently was not benefiting from it. For me, nowadays, its more like "work mode" and "not-work mode". And simple and short lists are working efficiently enough. I don't know, maybe my life just got simpler ;)



The apple reminder app(s) work surprisingly well for many cases:

* macbook: at a desk or whenever/wherever it is accessible

* iphone: quick note pretty much anywhere like train ride

* apple watch: running, in the pool, during sauna session or in the gym weightlifting

* siri: while driving car or riding bike

These all end into a single inbox.

Unfortunately this requires full buy-in into the apple eco-system.
