Description

The idea of a dashboard is to get an overview of what is actionable. Using the Tasks app for both current and upcoming tasks creates an unnecessary mental effort to filter out which tasks are current. Having the ability to choose what is displayed would reduce the mental workload.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a task with a future start date.
  2. Add widget to the dashboard.
Expected behaviour

Only tasks that are actionable are visible.

Actual behaviour

Tasks with a future start date are visible.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the dashboard widget involved in the reproduction, then determine how its displayed tasks can be selected; done means future-start tasks are excluded by default and users can choose the requested display scope.
