We have cracked the code on growing herbs on our veranda. Basil was no problem, and we can't keep up with our plants. Dill, on the other hand, was a struggle. It took a bunch of A/B testing to find the spot it likes. Once we found it, the plants went into overdrive. There was a perfect spot where it gets a morning dose of sun, then spends the rest of the day in the shade.

Dill is pretty expensive at our local supermarkets, so this rules. A little fresh dill on simple food wakes everything up. The same goes for a couple of basil leaves. Simple accents on simple food rule.

I am trying to apply this "perfect light" light plant lesson to my Reminders app and task system. I had sections set up by context (personal, work, band, etc.), and things weren't quite getting done smoothly. Tasks weren't getting the right light.

I changed the sections to what device I am on, and things went turbo. My devices are watch, phone, laptop, drums, home, and outside. Home and outside are a little bit more loose than the other, but they work for me.

This setup works for me because @watch clears out the sand-sized tasks. Then @phone clears out the gravel-sized ones. When I get to @laptop, the rock-sized tasks are more visible.

Is the sorting of tasks into where they can be done tedious? Yes, but I use sorting and tagging to review the task. Tags are my old context (personal, work, band, etc.). The tags are emojis, which make them really easy to spot.
