You organise your tasks in Projects and can optionally assign them Contexts.
Projects are bigger tasks that are comprised of smaller tasks. The idea is to bisect the project into smaller, actionable tasks, and keep a good overview of that. An example would be:
Project: Summer vacation, with the following sub)tasks:
- Coordinate the time
- Ask boss to give you time off
- Ask significant other when they would have time
- Pack
- Buy new snorkelling gear
- Book the camp
- Take your car to the mechanic for the regular check-up
- Ask your mechanic for a date
In contrast Contexts are the situation you need to be in to finish that specific task. If we take the above example again, you could achieve the above (sub)tasks in the following Contexts:
- Work office
- Phone
- Home
- Computer
- Outside
