This is a case for nested folders.
Using my standard example, I have the following folder - Project nest:
Kids>Daughter>Con Costume
and a sub project: Obtain Materials
I could put Obtain Materials in my Shopping folder -- but this isn't my usual shopping, I want to do it with my daughter. The contexts will be my errands contexts (subdivided by part of town), so they will show up on my context-based list of things to do.
In cocoino's example, I wouldn't have a folder for web projects. I would rather see my Projects section listed by ultimate purpose, so the football club's web project would be listed under Football>Web Project. [I have my costume listed under Personal.] The context may say Computer>HTML Coding; this would group all the web page creation tasks together. [Just as my Errands:northeast context would group everything I need at the fabric store, plus the grocery next to it.]
Does this make sense to you? It does to me -- that 's why I do it this way. It may work for you, or something else might work better.
