From the Derech Emet Yahoo Group:
Yaarot Debash, Volume 1 of 2, Derush 1, page 1:
Fortunate is the person who does not allow one minute of them. [the ten days of repentance from Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur]to pass by without occupying himself with the service of G-d and thoughts of repentance.
MODERATOR COMMENT:
This concept probably also applies to the entire month of Elul.
