Most apps do get this wrong. I use Taskwarrior and its ability to tag tasks, combined with the ability to schedule them for a future date and not show them until that date, is essential. I used to use Orgmode for the same reason. I use the tags mostly like GTD contexts: if something can wait until a routine meeting with a particular person, I tag it “discuss” and with the person’s name, and more importantly I routinely check these lists when meeting with people.

This can be done with no app at all though, which is what 43 folders is all about. David Allen says often in his book that the exact app or notebook you use doesn’t matter as long as it works for you.
