What SpiralOcean described works so long as you have no singleton Next Actions that are not attached to projects.

This means that if I have a "call Mom and wish her a happy birthday" by itself on my @Phone context, it always will show up on my @Phone context even if I'm focusing on a project or folder of projects.

This seems counter-intuitive -- if I'm focusing on a project, I should only be seeing the actions associated with that project, right? -- but I'm reserving judgment. I think that many singleton Next Actions are concise enough that you can do it within a 5-10 minute timeframe (otherwise it would be a Project in disguise) so it should not necessarily be excluded from all of the things that you could be doing with your discretionary time.
