Try selecting "Due Items" from the Perspectives menu. That will switch to Context mode and group your items by their due dates.

(The "Due Soon" perspective on my personal toolbar looks exactly like this, with one simple change: it only shows those actions which are due soon, which I did by selecting Status Filter->Due Soon from the View menu. The default "Due Items" perspective shows you all remaining actions, even if some are due more than a year from now.)
