This is a solution.
Another is to leave those tasks untouched (I mean: don't add words in their
description) and check out in the echo area about the context, when looking at
the tasks (scanning them with the arrow key). Of course, that means you can't
deduce what task belongs to which context without putting your cursor on the
task in question.

Yet another solution would be to use your category therefore?
