Okay, so now that I'm on the web client instead and it's not crashing on me constantly, I can see the potential in this.

I turned my one Client into a Project (With goal "Paying Gigs"), and after entering the things I have going with them, I can now easily see

1) The things I should do as background work for next part of a paid thing.
2) The things I need to turn in today.
3) The appointment I have scheduled. (Also on my Gcal, just in case!)
4) The folks I'm waiting on to move to the next step as part of a paid thing.
5) The context for each (@people, @device, etc.)
6) And they're tagged by type of work, so I can sort on that, too (though right now, they just happen to all be of the same type).

And thanks to the priority, I can even see what I should probably do first, and I can change those to a setting of "today" putting them on my agenda for this evening.

The fact that contexts *aren't* just mixed in with tags has the potential to be huge in terms of getting a better handle on things.

This has potential, if i can figure out how best to do this for my personal items. For my freelance work, this is going to help immensely.
