Since it's your first time attempting to mud and tape drywall I wouldn't make it any harder than need be.

I would swap it out for a bag of 15 or 30 min and a small tub of blue premixed compound.

The bag stuff needs mixed with water and it kicks off in that amount of time. You only use it to put the tape on. The fast dry time lets you get the blue on in the same day and it sticks the tape to the wall better than the lightweight compound. Then a few thin coats of blue to taper it in.

Less is more when mudding drywall. It's better to do 4-5 thin coats to get what you want than globbing it in and having to sand the chit out of it.
