What you describe is not quite GTD. The basic idea is that you throw many projects/tasks into a black box. At any time, when you want to get something done, and depending on where you are (or other context), you ask the box what to do and it either tells you what task to do (a next action), or in OF you can get a list of available tasks to do and you decide which is more appropriate.

OF is not a scheduler - you don't indicate that task A is to be done tomorrow, task B is for the day after, etc.

One consequence of GTD is that you can't really tell what you'll be doing in one week. Also, most tasks don't have a hard due date (otherwise they should be in your calendar), if you can't do it today (assuming it's next/available), then try doing it tomorrow. Thus, you shouldn't be overcommitting for any one day.

Of course there are exceptions to all rules!
