what is the correct phrase...with remains or with missing?

What of the following phrases would be the correct?
1) I'm going to work on my paper today, at least, what it is missing from the day
2) I'm going to work on my paper today, at least, what remains from the day


The first one is not correct, and doesn't make sense. The second one is ok ... but also a little bit unatural. Maybe you can say the following:

I'm going to work on my paper today.... well, with what is left of today.

I'm going to work on my paper today.... well, with what is left of today anyways.

I have put it in a different structure to you help you understand how we would say it in spoken English. Please note, the above is not written english. It is casual spoken english. In written english we might just write the following:

I'm going to work on my paper for the rest of today.

The second sounds more natural.
