Let's suppose there is a list of tasks ordered by due date

past due date

  • change toothbrush
  • change tyres

today

  • Go to xxx place
  • buy xxxx

remaining list(which are due in future)

  • take dog to vet

  • some task

  • some other task

What word should I use in place of "remaining list"(which are due in future)?

    "Pending" or "To-do-list".

  • If you're okay with "past due date" shouldn't you also be okay with "future due date"?

  • @Rathony +1 for to-do list. (It's not to-do-list by the way.)

  • Perhaps: past due date->"Missed deadline"; today ->"Expiring today"; remaining list -> "Next scheduled tasks".

Why not upcoming?

Occurring soon; forthcoming.

  • Because upcoming is not a very good word for a deliberate action. Upcoming things come up to you. To-do list is better.

    Overdue might work.

  • @Fard the whole list is todo list, I am dividing the todo list by their due date
