I believe that NextActions is a category under which AtContexts are
more specific. So i would imagine the best thing to do with all your
NextActions is to determine what the Contexts are for each one. I see
two ways to do this. One would be to keep a NextActions folder as a
catch-all for things that come to you while you are busy doing things
and then when you have time for a review, contextualizing them. The
other would be to always contextualize NextActions in the moment and
never having the catch-all. Which way you choose to work depends on
your own personal work-flow.

Some years ago, NASA released the first deep-space photographs of the
beautiful cloud-swirled blue-green agate we call Earth. A reporter
showed one of them to the late Samuel Shenton, then president of
International Flat Earth Research Society. Shenton studied it for a
moment and said, “It's easy to see how such a picture could fool the
untrained eye.”
