Hi there! I’ve used many approaches over the years. The one I used the most was the ‘Active Starred’ view, which acted as a ‘today’ view. Now that MLO has the Forecast view on iOS, however, I have over time come to use that, which is more intuitive and efficient for me.
In the latter view, I can simply go to a day and make a new task, and it’s now ‘due’ on that day and listed there. Any tasks with due dates will show up on that day. For larger projects with more general due dates that would require me working on them ahead of time, if I need to do something on a specific day or would like to, I simply set tasks within that project as due on different days. I personally like scheduling as little as possible because the further out I get the more useless it becomes because it blows up, but this current approach has been very nice for me. Most tasks that I decide I want to do on a certain day or would need to do on a certain day are things I’d fill in a week or two out. It’s very easy to go to that day in the Forecast view and simply make a task there without having to fiddle with setting the dates, seeing my appointments alongside that. Now, I’m experimenting with reserving the star feature for things I’d like ready access to. Active starred was my go to for as long as I’ve been MLO’ing, but this new approach feels more intuitive.
