I do something similar, but I call my context "Thinking". Anything that requires deeper thought before I can proceed gets assigned this context, effectively placing the project on hold until I've come to some kind of conclusion about the action and changed its context, added new action(s), or checked off the blocking action. I also often log some notes in the note field so I can always go back to review my decisions at a later date.

I have saved perspective that allows me to pull up all my "Thinking" actions. Then, whenever I'm going to have some time alone with my thoughts, like before a long drive or my morning run, I review the list for something to occupy my mind.
