Hi Peter flags are a core component of my system, I use them all the time (I follow the Michael Linenberg Total Wrokday Control). I use always the parsing feature when entering new tasks, for example
buy a new car today 9:30am rmd -fl1 In that way I allocate the flag in one go. I dont use contexts in this system, just flags.
