Assuming GTD periodic review of tasks, recommendations for separating work/home tasks but still allowing for exceptions (when must work on weekends)?

I couldn't create a targetted question without describing assumptions in the question, and the question was quickly too long to fit within the character limit, might be clearer with [gtd] and [weekly-review] tags. – yzorg Sep 20 '10 at 18:37
The question is unclear: consider editing. – Andrew Vit Sep 29 '10 at 19:22

Like the topic, but the question may not have a clear cut answer. Maybe ask about certain things to help you multi-task effectively vs what types of tasks you can't multi-task effectively? just brainstorming.. – TJB Aug 31 '10 at 17:06

just too broad a question i guess, maybe it could work as several different questions, it seems on topic but with no clear answer – TJB Jul 25 '10 at 3:47
agree - too broad to be a good example – sgold Jul 25 '10 at 20:07
too broad or more you can't tick the answer that applies and you are forced to read the lot – Robin Vessey Jul 27 '10 at 6:14

This site is for specific questions regarding personal productivity and organisation. This question is too broad and is easily researched elsewhere. – Eugenio Perea Aug 13 '10 at 22:42
This question would be answered by the tag wiki for GTD and might even be possible listed in the FAQ as GTD is a big thing... But indeed, a bad example. – Tom Wijsman Sep 18 '10 at 12:13
