Separate work and home
I'm wondering what is the best way to separate work and home tasks? I tried a smart list that includes only folders I use for work but it's empty - assume I did that wrong. I've considered tags but I keep forgetting to tag every task in a folder. I'd consider two accounts but that sounds complicated and I don't want to keep switching browsers. Ideas? Thanks!

Hi sjmb4865,
Two thoughts that may help in addition to dave.liao's tip:
First, for list searches you may want to make sure you're using OR. To use a work example like you mentioned:
list: Projects OR list:Calls OR list:"Desk Work"
If you prefer tags (for example, because tasks can have multiple tags instead of being in only one list), you can try to keep an eye on untagged tasks to make sure they get placed where they need to go. You can use isTagged:false or something more specific like this tip to create a Smart List that you make sure to "empty" by tagging etc.
Hope this helps all around!
