You get all your tasks in one place, you don't have to learn an additional system for tracking your work-related tasks, how is this not better than the alternative?

Thank you for the input....makes sense....so, yes, sounds better....

My last employer long ago discovered that providing engineers with duplicate work environments at home and paying the ISP bill would result in most of them spending lots of extra hours on work for no additional compensation cost, so you're probably getting off easy :-)

Yep.....I do have company laptop that I can take home and have remote access to network capability....but I try to avoid using it at home most of the time... ;-)

If you do proceed down this path, I recommend that you separate your work and personal projects into separate folders. Then create perspectives on the Mac which focus on one of the folders. There's an option in the perspectives window that allows you to specify whether the perspective shows in context or project mode; you want context mode. Make one that groups by project and sorts by project — this will give you a close approximation to the normal project view. Also make one that groups by context and sorts by due — this will give you a view of tasks separated out by context (so you can easily determine which tasks you can work on) and present them in due date order (so you can see what needs to be done first). These perspectives will largely make up for the lack of project mode perspectives on the iOS apps as far as doing the work is concerned, and by having them focus on either the work or personal folder, you'll only see the tasks relating to that focus in the resulting views. When you get to work, you open one of the work-focused perspectives, and your personal tasks will be out of sight. Go home, pull up a personal perspective, and all the work-related tasks disappear.

Excellent advice, thanks again!.....will have to try this....
