[Design] Assigning 'soft-deadlines' to items as a way to prioritize LATER items

To me, "now" is today. If I need a longer-term overview, I can see it in
the calendar. I agree that "someday/maybe" would be useful, but as
distinct from "later" (cf. GTD).

But following up on "quick" views that were mentioned last week, it
would be neat to have them not just filter by app-area, but also by
date, so that things like "this week" and "this month" become easily
possible.
