Working on Contexts

Hi, I'm trying Doit out again to see if I can make it work for me. How do you work in context mode? Contexts are not readily available in the iOS app, you have to open the side menu then select Contexts and then you select the relevant context. This is way too many steps. Also, the Contexts view doesn't seem to sort by priority.

Am I right in thinking that Doit wants you to work in the relevant action list view, i.e. Next?

If this is the case, I can see why Doit has never stuck with me.

  How Doit wants you to to work is beyond me. It does not seem consistent, or at least I have not figured it out either. You have to find a way that suits you.
  
  Personally I do not use the context views much, but I always keep my Today list grouped by context, and I select actions for the Today list primarily from the Next list, for which I alternate between project grouping and context grouping.

  Similar to Folke, I also don't use the context views often. I mainly review my Today list each day for my next actions which can be arranged by context (as well as by start time, due date, priority, or project)
  
  Once in a while, I will just look at contexts for certain items. For example, I might just want to see Errands to remember a list of things I need to buy when I am out and about. Or I just want to scan a list of non-urgent Calls I might want to make while I am waiting for an appointment or in between meetings.
