This is really GTD w/OmniFocus in a nutshell, isn't it!

Within OmniFocus, I try to build in flexibility by dividing my stuff up into "I gotta do this" and "I wanna do this" lists. Former items get due times for today, latter items just get flagged, and I try not to cram unrealistic quantities of stuff onto the "gotta do" list.

For clarification, you don't actually make separate lists, do you? The lists are just side effects of flagging or dating the actions, I presume. The "list" of stuff "I gotta do" is just a view of the set of tasks with a due date of today, and similarly the "list" of stuff "I wanna do" is just whatever happens to be flagged and available.
Have you ever had a day where both lists were completely drained? I'm wondering what that is like, but so far it has just been a theoretical concept for me :-)
