Are you Ramadan ready?

Yes i know ramadan is almost 3 weeks away, but this is really the time we should start planning how we will spend it. Also, we should have atleast one goal we want to achieve by the end of ramadan. The prophet SAW said Ameen when Hazrat Jibreel AS cursed those who did not manage to get themselves forgiven by the end of ramadan. The sahaba used to start making dua 6 months before ramadan that they get to see ramadan and make it better than the last one, and spend the next 6 months praying Allah accept their ibadah. Are we this concerned about our ramadan? Are we so sure we'll even see ramadan, or get to spend all of it?!
1) Make a niyyah right now that you will make this ramadan better than the last
2) Make dua that you see this ramadan and that Allah help you make it better
3) Write down one goal- something you want to improve or change about yourself. Make niyyah to make that change by the end of ramadan. Think of an action plan of how you will go about doing it.
For eg. If you dont pray regularly and you want to make that your aim. Make a decision that you will never miss a salah again. See why you normally miss salahs? is it because you are too lazy to make wudu. if so, then make wudu everytime you go to the loo so you are in wudu at salah time.
I'm afraid that just saying may Allah make us better will not make you better... you need to do something
 about it yourself before you are eligible for Allah's help Inshallah.
4) Make a plan as to how you will spend your day fasting. For eg, get up in the morning (after suhur and fajr), give breakfast to the kids/ go to work, then at say noon you will recite Quran, then pray zuhr, then rest, then make zikr, etc. Basically chart out your day else you will not use the day appropriately.
5) ATTEND A DAURA! Daura is a halaqa in your local masjid or someone's house where they go through the meaning of the entire quran during ramadan. It is absolutely imperative we know whats in the quran - this is the best opportunity when shaitan is imprisoned!
