An example:

I have a project that is to ultrasound all the pregnant ewes. It has a start date of 35 days after breeding and a due date of 45 days after breeding. Given biology the time is irrelevant all I care about is the day.

Similarly when I'm looking at things that have to be done for the new lambs, like vaccinations etc. start and due dates are all that is required, no need for times at all.

I do realize that I can set the time to say midnight or something but it's cumbersome. I'd like simpler options.

As Gameboy123 suggested, you can go to the Preferences, click on the Data icon at the top of the Preferences window. Then change the default time for due dates. Just change it to 11:59 pm.

Whenever you assign a due date, you can just type in the date. There is no need to enter the time. Just type in 12/01 for December 1. OmniFocus will show you just the date in the main window. You have to see the time in the inspector window. You won't ever see the time unless you need it.

If you set the default time to the 11:59 pm, you'll never have to worry about time.
