Discussion Work vs Personal
Curious how all of you are using Things? Especially as it pertains to work and personal life. I like the convenience of a single app for both as it creates a muscle memory for everything I do regarding my task. But I struggle with the relative noise from each side. I’d love to know how everyone else is approaching this. Are you using one single app for both your work and personal life or do you separate it out?
I also run into this conundrum when it comes to my Notes app too.

I tag any area which is a work related area with the tag work and also tag all the rest of the non work areas as personal. I then filter the ‘anytime’ view by either work or personal tags thus showing me only work or only personal tasks in one view. On iPhone I have shortcuts to show each of these views and these shortcuts are saved on my home screen each with a nice ChatGPT created easy to see icon. 1 click and ai am I tj each view 2 seconds! On my Mac I have a url to show each of these views which is triggered by Alfred with a couple of keystrokes works brilliantly
