I have read the good book, but I find in practice that waiting for as a context doesn't work for me, for delegated actions.
If I have a weekly meeting with Joe, then this meeting is for me the context for the delegated action. It is also the context where I have some actions for myself (e.g. "explain the planning for next month")
Susan, on the other hand, I never meet. I only talk to her on the phone. So that delegated action goes to the @Phone context.
The context information about an action is just not the same as the information about who has to do it.
So, I respectfully disagree.
I believe that David Allen is oversimplifying the treatment of delegated actions (am I a heretic now :) ?).
Particularly if 50% of the actions in my system are delegated, the context solution just doesn't fly for me.
