I've done exactly this and it works well. However, I've tweaked a couple things over time.

1. Tasks not completed may carry over to the next day, or a backlog if the next day already had something planned in my calendar.

2. Minimal markup to backlog tasks, such as a hard due date (i.e. other people expect it done by this date) and/or an urgency marking.

3. Keep the list on my phone so it is always with me. Having it digital reduces busy work (such as moving tasks between today and the backlog). I don't like using my phone so I don't tend to get sidetracked, thus YMMV with this.
