Is [time] considered as a matrix in which something can be formed or developed?

1. [Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.]

[what may be done today]--(of me) means that today is necessary / expected / intended for what may be done.

2. In 1Samuel 22:15

In "Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? "

[that day]----it is considered as a day in which I inquired of God for him.

Please tell me can above two ideas make sense to native?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,

Thank you very much to give so nice guidance to me.

I think preparations as a code toknock the door of English logic that is the key of logical chart.

English language is simply a logical chart.

If you can't finish it, you never get into the gate of English and it is unknown to you.

An added question, 'That's all for today.'

[for]----

Hi,

Sorry about the confusion.

I try to change it and wish it gets intelligible to a native speaker.

1. [Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.]

------what may be done in today;

Is it good at a native speaker?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

1. [Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.]

--what may be done in today;

Is it good at a native speaker? No. We don't say 'in today'.

Hi,

I’m sorry for the poor way.

“That’s all for today.” -------(my version) That recognizes the whole of job that is scheduled to be finished today.

In the sentence, [is] = recognizes; [for] = that is scheduled to be finished;

Here [verb to be] is different from [verb to be] in [We are the world.].

In [We are the world.], [verb to be] = belong to....

Hi,

That way ---in today follows the film "Some where in time."

In the use of preposition --in, I feel it all comes to the same use.

Is my feeling right or not?

Hi,

Sorry, again I don't understand most of what you have written.

As I already said., in terms of language we don't say 'in today'.

Hi,

Yes, sir.

Can the original---[Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.] change into "Never put off till tomorrow what may be done for today."?

Is it the same as "That's all for today."?

Does the verb to be---[are] stand for [in regard to]?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,

Yes, sir. Please don't call me 'sir'.

Can the original---[Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.] change into "Never put off till tomorrow what may be done for today."? Not if you want to speak good English.

Is it the same as "That's all for today.
