Done.

I'm afraid I must not have been clear in my post, because this is wrong and misses my point. In my example, "change air filter" is given the "low energy" context -- and since mutliple contexts are not allowed, it is NOT given the "home" context. As a result, the very common sense approach that you suggest DOESN'T WORK: If I select the "home" context and review that list, I will NOT see "change air filter." Contrariwise, if multiple contexts were allowed, then I could tag it with both "home" and "low energy" and your process would work just fine. Indeed, it is precisely for this reason that I do not use a "low energy" context.
I may have mislead some folks by choosing a poor example, but the larger point is this: If you can only assign one context, then *by definition* you cannot efficiently set up contexts that run across two or more dimensions. In other words, you can have either "location-based" contexts, or "people-based" contexts, or "energy-based" contexts, or "time-based" contexts, or "equipment-based" contexts -- but you have to choose one, because you cannot have all of them (or, to be more precise, you *can* have them all, but if you do, then you are forced to scan multiple context lists).
