You can add \pagebreak just before the heading to suggest that the page end
there. This will produce lots of ugly space in the right-hand column, though,
which is exactly why it _really_ doesn't want to break the page there. You
might consider tweaking the preceding paragraphs, making one of them a bit
longer. Make sure you are finished editing before worrying about line/page
breaks, yada yada.
It would be wonderful if you could set it up such that each column referred to
a specific task (\pagebreak also breaks columns in two-column mode). That
would make it very easy to find the desired section. Consider tweaking your
overall font size if it doesn't break nicely.
