Is that that wonderful time of year when I was little, I woke up to my mom making pancakes and got to watch the leaders of our church give us counsel. I especially loved that I got to watch them on tv in my pajamas! Being little, the goal was to stay awake, which my parents helped us do by hiding the names of the person speaking and having us look for them in the church magazine. Now that I am older I able able to stay awake for all sessions of conference and love them all. Being able to get guidance on how to be better is an amazing blessing. After conference I am always more determined to examine my life so I can improve. This year we heard a bit about technology and it got me thinking. I am very busy with school and work and I need to get into the business program. Going on the computer is a great way to relax, but how much time do I end up wasting? I always feel that I can be using my time in more productive ways, and right now that means limiting the time on facebook, emails, and blogs (but this is for school so I will still be around). I found a quote from a talk given by Elder Bednar at BYUI. This fit so perfectly for me right now, because if I waste my time I will postpone or give up my academic goals of becoming a business major.
"A young man or woman may waste countless hours, post pone or forfeit vocational or academic achievement, and ultimately sacrifice cherished human relationships because of digital distractions, diversions, and detours that have no lasting value."
Here is a video of the highlights of his talk:
