For those interested, I block various key activity areas to three parts of the day. I have views that focus on these parts of the days. Buy using a context for each part of the day as standard for a focus area, I can filter out that time of day. By using contexts, I can still put a task or sub focus (also) in another part of the day. Still, I had the problem that some tasks where beyond today, I and only wanted to see current actions in my daily management view. Thus my question here. Based on Dwights help, here is what my filter (currently) looks like: [image: Screenshot 2024-06-09 084037.png]
