context vs. cues in recall

Memory recall is context-dependent.

People search for their keys by reconstructing a timeline and scene and events that led up to their realisation of losing the location of their key - this is recreating the context? or cues?

In note-taking, we can't note down everything, but we fear the worst of forgetting too much if we don't note everything down. This suggest our reliance on the cues is perhaps unjustifiably (hysterically) more on the context (?).
