The Time Left figure is based on the Due Date. That's important information as it tells me how much time I have to complete a certain task.
It would be great if the tool could also look ahead and tell me something intelligent about the start date: if a task X is due on such-and-such date and is estimated to take N hours (and knowing how many work hours are in a day and how many work days in a week, as requested in separate thread), the tool can tell me how much time is left until I need to start working on task X.
Even nicer if this calculation would take other tasks into account, too. If task X is due on day DX and task Y is due on day DY and Y has higher priority than X and DY < DX, then obviously X needs to start even sooner to allow for being interrupted by Y, etc etc.
The Organizer is great to help me keeping track of tasks and delivery dates, but it could do a much better job at telling me what to do next.
