I have written/adapted a couple of AppleScripts and packed them into a Alfred 2 workflow to speed up my deferring process in Omnifocus.
The idea is that when I go through my daily task list or inbox in Omnifocus I often move them to later in the day (e.g., after lunch or towards the evening when I have less energy) or to the next day. Some of these I move even to the weekend evening, when I do my weekly planning.
You can download the workflow here (version 1.1):

More details on how to make changes (adapt it for your needs) can be found here:

Here is a list of implemented shortcuts: The idea is that you can go through your tasks with the arrow keys. If you want to move the currently highlighted task (or multiple tasks), you can choose from the previously described options. The corresponding shortcuts are define with arrow keys too. The idea is to use "⌥⌘" for deferring to today and "⌃⌥⌘" to tomorrow. The arrow keys are "↓" for morning, "→" for afternoon, and "↑" for evening.
⌥ ⌘ ↓ today (morning)
⌥ ⌘ → today 14:00 (afternoon)
⌥ ⌘ ↑ today 18:00 (evening)
----------------------------------------
⌃⌥ ⌘ ↓ tomorrow (morning)
⌃⌥ ⌘ → tomorrow 14:00 (afternoon)
⌃⌥ ⌘ ↑ tomorrow 18:00 (evening)
----------------------------------------
⌥ ⌘ ← next Sunday 18:00 (to plan my next week)
⌃ ⌥ ⌘ ← next Saturday (morning) to follow up task that I was not able to do during the week
I change sometimes this to a specific date , e.g., the first day after the vacations or after some busy deadline (to move quickly task out of my sight until things calm down)
Enjoy and have a great day, Helmut
