Asalamualikum,
Ramadan is getting near InshAllah & so its time to prepare for it.
1) Talk less
Hazrat Shaikh Fareeduddin Attaar (Rahmatullahi 'alayh) explained most beautifully, perfectly and comprehensively the benefits of maintaining silence:
"In my mind does not enter any topic nobler than silence. Silence contains so many benefits that they cannot be explained. Silence makes hearts the treasure houses of pearls of wisdom. I learnt this hidden secret from the oyster's shell."
The drop of water enclosed in the oyster's shell is transformed into a pearl. Similarly, man's heart becomes a treasure house for pearls of wisdom by means of closure of the lips.
