That's pretty clear, we need to be organized and organize for God.
What are we doing that could be done better?
How can we use our time to accomplish more in a day?
Dallin H. Oaks said:
“Our priorities determine what we seek in life. . . .
“Jesus taught about priorities when He said, ‘Seek not the things of this world but seek ye first to build up the kingdom of God, and to establish his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you’ (Joseph Smith Translation, Matthew 6:38; in Matthew 6:33; footnote a).
“‘Seek . . . first to build up the kingdom of God’ means to assign first priority to God and to His work. The work of God is to bring to pass the eternal life of His children (see Moses 1:39), and all that this entails in the birth, nurturing, teaching, and sealing of our Heavenly Father’s children. Everything else is lower in priority. . . . As someone has said, if we do not choose the kingdom of God first, it will make little difference in the long run what we have chosen instead of it. . . .
“Our priorities are most visible in how we use our time. . . . With time, we have only one opportunity for choice, and then it is gone forever”And M. Russel Ballard made a good point when he said that: “Missionaries cannot do this work by just saying, ‘Well, what are we going to do?’ Missionaries have to set goals. In companionship study two missionaries set their goals. They realize that if they have good goals, they will be much more successful in finding, in teaching, in progressing investigators, and in baptizing them so that they can be confirmed and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost”
WE NEED TO MAKE GOALS AND PROGRESS TOWARD THEM.
