I think I already know the answer to this, but asking anyways...
Instead of managing my open and closed contexts, I would prefer having this "Due date time is NOW".
Explanation: I have a view "Today" and a view "Now".
In my view "Now", I just see what is applicable now (or before now)... not in 1 hour, not this afternoon and not tonight... so I prevent having my attention looking at the other stuff coming later in the day.
I can always go in my view "Today" if I need too!
Thanks!

Hi, Luc. you are in luck; the advanced filter for DueDateTime works
exactly the way that you are requesting. You can also include tasks that
will come due in the next hour by specifying DueDateTime LessThan Now+0.04
(0.04 of a day is 1/25, or about 57 to 58 minutes). Or you can look at
only those tasks that are overdue by 7 minutes or more with DueDateTime
LessThan Now-0.005

It looks like you are already familiar with editing advanced filters,
but if you (or anyone else) need step-by-step instructions, write back
and say what platform you are on.
