Things to do in Ramadan

As Ramadan approaches, pamphlets are distributed, articles are published in various magazines regarding the Ibadat that a person can indulge himself/herself into during this holy month. My mom read one of such articles to me, also specifying how can I complete them. Like at one point she said, you can easily recite these ayats on your way to office. You have ample time to complete one tasbeeh easily.
I am jotting down some of them below, so that we can all try to recite them whenever we can, and so that we may not forget to especially take out time for these. After all, this month comes but once a year.

One tasbeeh of First Kalma everyday.
One tasbeeh of Third Kalma everyday.
At least one tasbeeh of Astagfar every day.
One tasbeeh of Surah-Ikhlas (Kul ho Allah)
2 Nafil shukrana every day.
Try to offer Salat-e-Tasbeeh before Friday's Zuhur.
In Ramadan Surah-Qadr (Inna Anzalna) should be recited extensively. Recite it 7 times, at the least, every day.

You can recite a few even while working...
Read Ya-Allah, Ya-Salam, Ya-Hafeez.


Right after waking up in the morning, read Bismillah and then read Durud-Shareef three times, then blow on your wrists and then rub them on your face.
If you are irritated or angered by something then read Al-Hafeez, you'll feel better.
After Isha and Namaz-e-Taraveeh read Al-Qavi 21 times.
After Isha and Namaz-e-Taraveeh read First Kalma three times.

Source: Pakeeza (September 2008). Pgs. 303 - 305. You'll find a lot of other ayats you can recite during Ramadan. Do make it a point to go through these pages because I have jotted only a few of the many present.
