I have been using Flags to indicate action items that I will work on today (sort of a Hot List), but it isn't really the complete solution.
Do you schedule time to work on particular contexts in iCal? I don't think it's a good idea to schedule it too far out, since it may change. But setting aside time in your calendar to work in particular contexts can help reassure you that you're going to keep moving forward on your work.
