If you have an org file for work stuff and another one for home stuff, each one
with their respective filetags, then IMHO it is better simply not to set the
@work and @home tags explicitly. If something is work related then refile it to
the work org file instead of setting the @work tag. You lose flexibility, but
avoid this problem.
