This is exactly what I'm struggling with too.

So far I have found that making a context for each person that I work with regularly is very helpful.

Also helpful is creating a context for each "mode" of work I'm in. Sometimes I'm deep into some MySQL work and am happy to move forward on a bunch of projects I have that need a MySQL step. Other times I'm working on our website in a Coda/BBEdit/Dreamweaver frame of mind. I like to group tasks by context like that too.

Finally, I've found it useful to group a few physical places such as Office, Home, Home Office, Branch A, Branch B, and Errands.

Every time I feel like contexts aren't working for me, I arrive at the same solution: I need to do a better job defining the task.

Unfortunately, this takes time, and that causes me to take shortcuts that only hamper the whole "trusted system" concept. I'm not giving up though.

Anyone else out there, please share your context tips. Thanks in advance.
