Google Tasks on iOS

No, I literally send mail from three different domains. All personal correspondence comes from my gmail account. The company I work for has their own google apps domain (i don't want to mix that in with my personal mail, even if it is separated by labels) and my freelance company has its own google apps domain. I prefer keeping that separate, rather then having one account (gmail) aggregate mail from all the other accounts. I used to do it that way but didn't like it. I feel the same way about tasks. When I'm settling down to work on some of my freelance projects, I like to look at a tasks list that has just tasks pertaining to those projects, same for personal, and same for full time job.

I see. So you really want to compartmentalize things and prevent them from bleeding into each other, and you use different accounts to draw boundaries.
I have so many questions, hope you don't mind answering, if only a few…

• What are the other things you do to draw boundaries? E.g. do you set aside firm hours as well - 8am-10am is client A, 10am-4pm is project B, 4pm-10pm personal stuff. Or other things like that?

• What kind of work do you do?

• Do you stay logged in in Safari to all of your accounts? Is it a pain to switch back and forth, or does it work just fine?

• How do you deal with multiple calendars?

• Do you have problems juggling multiple passwords required for this sort of work-style?

Thanks for sharing your perspective, much appreciated.

I don't mind sharing at all:

I'm a web developer. I don't have a problem being logged in to multiple accounts. I've always used browser tabs logged in to all 3 accounts simultaneously. Same for calendars. It's a lot of tabs, but it worked out fine. The only issue can be memory usage. I do have all my calendars aggregated by my personal google calendar to keep notifications simple. Theoretically you should never have two calendar items in conflict, while you can have many tasks in progress at the same time. I do set aside blocks of time to do certain things. I tend to switch into "modes" whereas I say "I'm going into freelance mode right now." and just work on freelance stuff.

I have recently switched to Google Chrome for my web browser which allows you to save a web page as a standalone web application. It gets its own icon and runs in its own window with no menu or address bar. This has greatly simplified my life. I have "apps" for email, calendar, tasks, notes, etc. I am also a linux user. Linux (unlike windows, not sure about mac) allows you to have virtual desktops. I typically have 4-5 desktops. 1 is dedicated to my personal stuff, 2 work, 3 freelance, 4 shared. etc. I can easily move between desktops where the environment is tailored to that specific task.
