Great observation, that most tasks are context depended in terms of a specific location. Immediately more of these contexts or pre-conditions pop up in my mind: social circle, mindset, internet connection, … Thinking about this more, there seem to be 2 different types of conditions: some that have to be met once sometime before doing something and some that have to be met continuously to be able to do something. Maybe one could connect a system that creates location/time based reminders for steps with pre-conditions. What do you think?
The contexts will probably be highly individual. For example, for me it would make sense to have (a shorter name for) a context “I am at home, my kids are not at home, I am not tired yet, and I have at least an hour of uninterrupted free time”.
If things are so individual, probably tags are the way to go. You could then have a auto-generated step containing all steps with a particular tag. Logseq and Tana actually have such query items. In OmniFocus I’ve seen a hierarchical tag structure which looked pretty useful.
