Do you have a scripture reading routine that works for you? A way to record insights?
AS per suggestion in Teaching NO Greater Call, I pray before and ask the HG to b with me to help me understand what I read and after I pray to say thank you for scriptures. This manual also said to come up with a system to record and retrieve spiritual impressions. The best that I have come up with is a spiral notebook with post it notes to indicate pages that have important information.
Do you have a scripture study method that works for you?

What was your favourite conference talk? Why do you like it?

Thank you all. This is good advice.

Dear Bros & Sis\'s,
I have developed a bad habit of being negative. I think this is because I work brutally long hours six days a week without the benefit of coffee which I miss desperately. I rarely do anything fun because Sunday is my only day off. I do need to become more positive. I am trying to : 1) smile, 2) pray at work, while driving, while walking to work, 3) do favours for people. I carry a spare umbrella when it is raining to give away. 4) say prayers of gratitude. Any ideas?

If your home teachers call and ask if you can meet them at a specific time that does not work for you, suggest several other times, otherwise you could labelled "difficult". Sunday after church often works well. If your hometeachers are not very diligent, you can call the elders quorum pres and ask him to arrange a blessing for you

Does anyone have any tips on being mormon? Suggestions: never pray for patience. If you do everything will go wrong.
If your Bishop calls you to change your life radically e.g. Get married. Stay calm and say "I will fast and pray about that"
Never get into a fight with anyone. You may end up home\visiting teaching them
If you are asked to provide meals for a family, lean cuisine is okay
If you can't have the missionaries for dinner, you can bring them a cooler of frozen breaded chicken and ice cream.
You can ask for an adjustment to your visiting teaching, e.g. Some wards will let you do it without a companion
An iPod/iPad is easier to lug around than heavy scriptures.

My doorbell rang tonight and it was one of the men from the ward, accompanied by 2 of his kids. They handed me a little bag of heart shaped cookies and a bouquet of roses.
I would have been happy with a single flower, so this was a really great surprise.
How nice to remember the single sisters for Valentine's!
I want to move to your ward! How great.

Will we have time off? Will there be time to do the things that we have not been able to do in this life-read novels, spend time with relatives, sit and meditate?

Please. Send more encouraging thoughts like this!

I think that most of our time will be spent helping others with their struggles, afflictions, and trials yet we will have the time, energy, and perfected state of mind to pour out such kindness without end. Our relationships with our families will be perfect. This will also bring joy and peace to us on a level so great that it is difficult to understand in this life.
That's some of my opinions. Here is what I know:
It is not difficult to gain eternal life. I think it's a lot easier than most people realize. Satan uses many lies to discourage people. "I'll be happy in a lower kingdom", "Celestial glory is too hard to obtain", and "I've committed too much sin to be saved" are just a few of the lies Satan uses. Life in the Celestial Kingdom will be perfect peace, joy, and happiness. We can make it!

What is the best book of advice for Mormons that you have read?
I suggest \\\\\\\"hearing the voice of The Lord\\\\\\\" by lund. I am on my second copy because the last person I lent it to refused to give it back.

In the missionfield, yes they do! In small wards, they are just desperate to fill callings. I had a retarded brother called as a single adult ward rep. We drove him to the stake center for a meeting. He got lost in building and never showed up for the meeting.
-
For stake callings, it is a good idea to visit the wards around the stake rather than trying to get people to do things by phone. I once had a stake calling in which I was trying to perform the same way as it would be done in Utah. Things were not going well. I drove to the wards 50 to 100 miles apart and found that people had 4 callings, no cars to attend meetings, extreme poverty...no wonder things were not going well!
Do you have a scripture reading routine that works for you/a way of recording your insights?

I like your varied approach. I think looking up topics is a good break from reading the Book of Mormon over and over!
