It's not about habit. It's out of our hands. For many people, bosses, client, or external forces shape priority. While we can try to manage expectations, there is a limit. So yes, I'd love to manage only by context, but in my business it is not realistic 50% of the time.

Now I don't think "priority numbers" are useful. OF does this inherently by physical ranking. But better "heads up" planning views and time-lining would be welcome. We can't always spent our time "heads down" on just the next few tasks.
