What context would you assign "receive approval" to after you've received the approval? I suppose context: phone (or computer, etc.)... Thanks.

Well, I don't change the contexts of my actions after they're set, except to correct an error or something. They'd remain as I described above. As I'm working through a project, I just check things off, so in this case, after placing the phone call, I check off "ask for approval," and then when I receive approval I check off the "receive approval" action, which moves me to the next action, "purchase widget."
