This hard coding is out of org-mode range,
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" (time-add (current-time) (seconds-to-time (* 24 60 60))))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 2012-04-28
where the current-time is:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" (current-time))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 2012-04-27

I'm very interested. How do you compare your plan with results?
