How to Build a Context Map for Your Workday Using Assignee

Apps are just tools. What we really need are contexts—zones where we focus on one mode of work.


Step 1: Identify Your Workday Zones

  • Deep Work (Code, Docs, Design)
  • Comms (Slack, Calendar, Notion)
  • Admin (Email, Invoicing, Planning)

Step 2: Build a Shortcut Map

Use Assignee to map your zones:

  • Ctrl + Tab, 1 = Deep Work
  • Ctrl + Tab, 2 = Comms
  • Ctrl + Tab, 3 = Admin
  • Ctrl + Tab, 4 = Learning

Each zone switches to all the windows/tools for that context.


Step 3: Reorder When Needed

Reprioritize your window order inside Assignee any time. No config needed.


Final Thought

Apps change. Your workday doesn't. Map your shortcuts to context, and you’ll move faster with less thought.
