Salam everyone! I wanted to share how I personally keep consistent in Ramadan. And when Ramadan ends I take those habits with me.
One of ways I try and make a good habit is with a chart:

Me and my sister both have one.It just helps remind us of what needs to be done. After those 30 days I can remember on my own. You can take that chart above and screenshot shot it so you can keep track on your phone. I like a chart because I can see where I need to improve and such.
I also like to keep a schedule sort of. Not like a fixed one or anything but here's an example: When I wake up for Suhur, I eat then read Quran until it's time for fajr. There's no time it's just when I do stuff.
I don't really do this one a lot but you'll under why when I tell you. Shut off all your devices. Phones, iPads, laptops, etc. Now if someone needs to get ahold of you that's a problem but if you really are trying to focus on just Ramadan and it's blessings turn them off!!
Another way to take advantage of Ramadan is to go to the mosque. Praying at the mosque is totally different then when you pray at home. First of all you get more rewards because you are praying alongside other people. But the feeling is amazing. I highly suggest GO TO THE MOSQUE!!! Don't be lazy. Open your fast at a mosque too you'll like it.
Islam teaches us to not be selfish but the one time Allah wants us to be selfish is Ramadan. Take advantage of these blessing we are getting. This might be your last Ramadan you know.
