I agree :) This is how I use OF. I have so many things I want to get to someday, it's nice to know they are already organized into projects when I am ready to tackle them. For me, placing them all in one folder with a Someday / Maybe context would be a mess and would take me a lot of time to look through.

Even for the "maybe I'll get to this someday" actions, I try to assign a context whenever possible (Errands, phone calls, design, maintenance, etc.). For me, this allows the someday / maybe things to happen sooner.

If the action really is for sometime in the future with no immediate need or deadline, I just don't assign a context. This lets me know it is not important, or doesn't have to be attended to relatively soon. If the action receives a context, it is more important, and if I assign dates to it, it is a must do :)
