The standard GTD way to handle this is:
- calendar for things that must be done on a specific day/time (call Mr. Li in Hong Kong Tuesday at 7:00 am PDT)
- task/project list for things that you would like to do by a certain day, but aren't glued to it (prepare question list for Mr. Li phone call Tues. morning; set alarm early Monday night)

And you'd be looking at both the calendar and the Project/task list (which I'll call OmniFocus) frequently.

I admit, I don't work quite that way, either -- but as housewife/mom, I don't have a standard job. [No office/home difference, for one.] I also don't look at iCal nearly as often as I should.

My solution is to have 5 projects, one for each day of the week. [I don't plan my weekends.] I'll list my cleaning tasks (which will be repeating) and any special things I want to get done during the week. I can also see myself putting appointment reminders on the days, too. But this isn't how OF is supposed to be used.
