Instead of creating a special context for "Today", why not flag the tasks you're interested in completing today, then use a "Flagged" perspective to show only those tasks?

That keeps your Contexts intact (so you can see all your calls, etc. grouped together) and it's really fast. With a single click on a Perspective icon (which you can keep visible in the toolbar all the time), you've got your clean simple view of your hottest items.

Collapse your contexts in the sidebar as much as you want/need to. Expand your list in the main window. Grab a snapshot. Then you're all set. No distractions. No dragging stuff around.
