While Ramadan in quarantine has forced us to curb many of our outside activities, the temptation now is to think we will easily be using our time to reach our Ramadan objectives of spiritual empowerment and improvement. The following hacks can help keep us on track during the blessed month insha Allah, so we make the most of every moment insha Allah.

Choose a system to help you reach your Ramadan goals. There are many Apps available that can help, but if you’re more of a paper and pen person, post your Ramadan goals on the fridge or on the mirror so you can see and internalize them a few times a day. Check in at Dhuhur, then after Isha, to track your progress. 

1. Set up auto pay for a charity of your choice, to be deducted every Friday in Ramadan. Suggestion: this year, consider giving this way to your local Masjid. With quarantine in place, mosques will not be able to fundraise as they normally do during large gatherings at Taraweeh prayers. Masjids still have operating costs and Imams and other staff to pay. Please support them. 
2. Select one online weekly volunteer task to complete. Contact your local Masjid or Islamic center to see if you can coordinate shifts to deliver meals to those in need, make calls to them, or complete other tasks that don't require you to leave home. 
3. Set up an online Iftar party with family and/or friends once a week. Choose one dish all of you will make, decorate the place, and dress up. Even better: make a $2 Iftar and donate what you would have normally spent on an Iftar party to those in need. You can also order in from a local restaurant to support them. Restaurants have been hit hard because of the COVID-19 crisis. 
4. Self-block your non-essential social media consumption or limit it to 10 minutes three times a day or less. There are Apps that can help with this. 
5. Make your Suhoor, including whatever caffeine you need for the day, right after you eat Iftar. This way, you only have to warm and eat/drink in the early morning. 
6. If you take medications at Suhoor, have them lined up and ready next to your nightstand with a covered glass of water so if you wake up too late, with not enough time for a full Suhoor meal, you can at least take your medications. 
7. Put a glass or jug of cold water in the fridge at night so it’s readily available for Suhoor.
8. Go to sleep right after Tarawih. Avoid falling into the habit of catching up on social media before bed, which disturbs sleep. If necessary, time yourself to do this for not more than five minutes. 
9. Decide on an Iftar menu and post it on the fridge for the week, or even for the whole month, so you can shop for ingredients you need beforehand, and prepare and eat meals efficiently and quickly.
