GTD generally distinguishes between scheduled or time-dependent tasks and next actions that you can do at any time. Omnifocus is a place for next actions. Scheduled and time-dependent tasks go on the calendar.

I don't think Omnifocus assumes your calendar is blank, I think it assumes that the stuff that has to be done today "or it's dead" (in David Allen terminology) _is_ on your calendar, that you do that first, and that the stuff in Omnifocus is generally non-time-dependent next actions.

(if scheduling every task works for you, by all means go for it, but Omnifocus isn't really built to schedule things in that way because GTD doesn't encourage scheduling things in that way)
