The following scripture passage and statements by Church leaders:
“For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors” (Alma 34:32).
“Time is all the capital stock there is on the earth. … If properly used, it brings that which will add to your comfort, convenience, and satisfaction. Let us consider this, and no longer sit with hands folded, wasting time” (Brigham Young, in Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe [1954], 214).
“We easily can be overcome by the routine and mundane matters of mortality. Sleeping, eating, dressing, working, playing, exercising, and many other customary activities are necessary and important. But ultimately, what we become is the result of our knowledge of and willingness to learn from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; it is not merely the sum total of our daily pursuits over the course of a lifetime” (David A. Bednar, “Exceeding Great and Precious Promises,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017, 93).

I will practice these steps every day to use my time more wisely, and I will report each night to Heavenly Father in my prayers.
